During development a new game engine was used instead of reusing the engine from the previous game. Producer Atsushi Miyauchi stated that they chose the new engine for its ability to render deferred lighting, which gave the game a more realistic look to match the more historically accurate story, though this also meant that the character models had to be remade from scratch.
