In this detailed tech breakdown, Oliver goes inside the Anvil Next engine, showing you the key systems in action via developer visualisation, how they're radically revamped over the original, before providing the outlook on the PS5 game. We'll be looking at all versions in our next video with PC optimised settings to follow.
