Unity 4 launches

New character animations, DirectX 11 support and more in latest game engine release

Unity Technologies has launched the fourth version of its widely used multi-platform engine.
Unity 4.0 is now available for download. Announced in June, the new engine consists of a series of updates designed to improve the product through an extensive improvement of existing tech and the rollout of new features.

The first in a series of planned updates for Unity 4 includes significant additions, such as DirectX 11 support and Mecanim animation tools. Users will also have access to a Linux deployment preview and the Adobe Flash Player deployment add-on.
“Unity 4 will see the addition of an incredible number of new, highly advanced features and continuous improvement across the tech to be released in smaller, faster increments than Unity has seen in the past,” said Unity Technologies CEO David Helgason.
“It’s an exciting time for Unity and the 4.0 release marks the beginning of a great new era for our technology.”
