The weather in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a pretty big deal for Ubisoft, mostly due to a fancy new tool called Atmos that allows for fully simulated weather that affects gameplay.
Talking to VG247, Assassin's Creed Shadows art director Thierry Dansereau said there's a big focus on the game's skies because they "represent a major visual element that greatly contributes to the perceived visual quality and level of immersion." Dansereau added that the simulation of realistic clouds will help Ubisoft bring to life a "dynamic world that is in constant transformation."
