Unity Technologies has unveiled Unity 3.0, the third generation of its development platform.
The company said that it will expand its list of supported platforms – Web, PC, Mac, Wii and iPhone - to include Android, iPad and PS3, claiming that its engine offers “the broadest support on the market”. Xbox 360 support was also announced late last year.
Among a host of new features, Unity 3.0 will introduce "major updates to Unity's rendering capabilities, its physics features and significant optimisations to its core systems" upon its summer release. Entry level product Unity will remain free for commercial use, while Unity Pro will retain its current price of $1500 per developer seat.
"Since our first version in 2005, Unity Technologies has been focused on the democratisation of interactive 3D and delivering an impressive list of technological advances making it the technology of choice for more than 100,000 developers today," said David Helgason, CEO of Unity Technologies.
"We have been driven by innovation and a desire to always offer the best capabilities to developers. Unity 3.0 is built on that same promise and allows our customers to further expand the reach of their games to new platforms and audiences."
