Ubisoft has released a brand new and quite lengthy gameplay video for its upcoming Assassin’s Creed 3 action game, this time showing off the stunning capabilities of the title’s proprietary AnvilNext engine.

Assassin’s Creed 3 brings not only a brand new chapter in the popular franchise, but also introduces all sorts of fresh things, from a new protagonist, Connor, to a new historical setting, the American Revolution.

Now, in order to show off all these major new things, Ubisoft has posted a video that focuses on the AnvilNext engine which powers Assassin’s Creed 3.

From the huge world it can create, to the massive battles it can render in all sorts of environments, be it land or sea, the engine is looking quite impressive.

You can admire it in the video above and in Assassin’s Creed III once it’s released on October 31 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and later this year for the PC.
