Mozilla has teamed up with Unity to run its games on the Web without plugins -- but with an add-on.
Announced at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, the extension will ship later this year with the anticipated Unity 5.0. Powered by the Web graphics library WebGL and the JavaScript subset asm.js, the add-on update says more about game developer's faith in Firefox than anything else.
"We believe WebGL and asm.js will be driving the future of gaming on the Web. We're happy to see the platform mature and look forward to helping to drive it's evolution," said Ralph Hauwert, a senior developer for Unity Technologies.
