Eidos Montreal has announced the Dawn Engine, a new game engine which the studio says will be the “cornerstone to the development of the Deus Ex Universe projects at the studio”.
Dawn Engine is based on a heavily modified version of IO Interactive’s Glacier 2 engine, which was utilised in the development of Hitman: Absolution. Dawn promises improved rendering capabilities, real-time physics, and advanced artificial intelligence programming.
The first image from the Dawn Engine can be seen above.
“The technology behind any game is a key component in ensuring that gamers are able to develop both an emotional and visceral connection to what they are experiencing within the game world,” said David Anfossi, studio head at Eidos-Montréal. “We’ve worked tirelessly over the last few years developing this engine, building upon and improving both the visual and immersive artistry in our games. We truly believe that our engine will help us to strengthen both the gameplay and storytelling experiences we strive to create.”
With the announcement of the new engine out of the way perhaps we’ll see an announcement relating to Deus Ex Universe during The Game Awards on Friday/Saturday.
