You'll experience unprecedented emotion and life with stunningly realistic characters and cutting-edge performance capture of top-tier actors like Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, and Gillian Anderson.

This was accomplished by using one-to-one facial scans to create hundreds of unique blendshapes along with animated wrinkle and blood flow maps. These work in conjunction with our high-fidelity facial rig and skeleton to bring a whole new level of realism to the more than 10 hours of performance captured for the game.
