No series remains as relevant as Assassin's Creed has without continually changing and evolving. Last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows brought several improvements and changes to the ongoing war between the Templar Order and the Assassin Brotherhood, and some of them will become ingrained for future installments.
Thierry Danserau, art director on the game, talks about how Shadows will impact other games at an event marking its first anniversary attended by GamesRadar+. "In all the systems we've added a lot of technology within the game that I think is going to become legacy for future releases," he says, "such as micropolygon, or ATMOS, the dynamic weather systems that are passively changing. There are quite a few things that will make their way to other games."
