Under the Hood: Assassin’s Creed 3′s AnvilNext Engine

AC3′s AnvilNext engine takes franchise to beautiful new heights.

From dense woodland environments to crowded battlegrounds of up to two thousand soldiers, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 3 brings the American Revolution to life. Driving this new environment is the impressive AnvilNext engine, a piece of software which began development before the previous Assassin’s Creed installment hit shelves last year.

Today, Ubisoft released a video focusing on the technology. We highly suggest you check it out below:

When the game was first announced, it was difficult to imagine how Ubisoft would capture the Assassin’s Creed magic in such a wildly different environment. As the game’s launch nears, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the title offers a lot to be excited about.

The game is set to launch on October 30, 2012 for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
