Ubisoft has released a new Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag video. The new video takes a look at the next-generation technology used to create the world.

In the video Associate Producer, Sylvain Trottier talks about and explains the game’s sea engine which contains a shallow water shaders etc., weather system which contains rain particles made from thousands of individual raid drops each one a particle that is independently lit, new lighting this contains a brand new global illumination technology which now has light changing depending on the properties of the reflective materials. There is more to the video, but I think I’ll let the video explain the rest.
