The engine enables detailed character models, realistic environments, and seamless transitions between gameplay and cutscenes, contributing to the immersive storytelling and action-packed gameplay that defines the studio's flagship titles. Its capabilities have been further refined in subsequent releases like Judgment and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
