Wolfenstein: Youngblood came out in July 2019 and promised to feature some real-time ray tracing effects. However, and after four months, those ray tracing effects are nowhere to be found. And from the looks of it, MachineGames and NVIDIA will be adding them in 2020.
Joe Wonjong Lee, research scientist at Intel, claimed in his SIGGRAPH Asia presentation that Wolfenstein: Youngblood will have its Ray Tracing effects in 2020.
I posted the slide deck of my talk at SIGGRAPH Asia. It's our proposed new programming shader for real-time ray tracing API. Enjoy it.https://t.co/bayXubndI0 pic.twitter.com/Qkcm4X6XFU

Here is the image that is present in the second slide of Joe Wonjong Lee’s presentation.
MachineGames has officially claimed that it is still working with NVIDIA in order to implement these Ray Tracing effects. However, you should not be expecting them in 2019.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

is anyone even still playing this?
It’s not like RT is going to save this SJW failure, i thought Wolfenstein 2 killed the saga, but this one man is literally pissing on it grave
I’ll be buying it right after having seen Charlie’s Angels and Terminator Dark Fate plus having ordered some Captain Marvel comics and a Vice Admiral Holdo action figure. Take that, incels! Down with the patriarchy!
Was the new terminator that bad? I loved the first two, was hoping since James Cameron was involved this wouldn’t be a crap fest like the previous sequels.
Utterly abysmal identity politics BS that predictably tanked at the box office. Huge losses reported. #getwokegobroke strikes again.
Yep, the first two movies plus The Sarah Connor Chronicles are all that really matters. The rest is irrelevant like how Disney Star Wars is irrelevant to Star Wars.
Well.. crap. I haven’t ever seen the SCC. Will have to check that out.
I really liked Salvation.
You sound like the quartering lol
Haha!
glad that you’re opinion, its great game period
Disconcerting news.
awww is the puppy sad huh you want some excellent news huh you want some huh dose the puppy want some huh ?
Why not say excellent?
Will I ever agree with you on anything? I bet you love TLJ don’t you?
Raytracing? Nah. Fallout 1st.
Nobody cares. The game sucks.
sad day in videogame history
+RaYtRacInG iS tHe FutUrE
This is like the least concerning thing of the game LOL
RTX is a joke.
They don’t even have to bother, this game died on arrival.
who cares?
Why the hell do they keep wasting resources into a game that had poor ratings, has a peak-player count of 150 people per day and, presumably, sold like crap?
It “sold” loads of copies with hardware bundles.
It’s ok, no one is playing the game anyway.
HOLD UP!!!
“IT JUST WORKS”
Works better than Vega’s advertised features 🙂
But the question is who’s going to play this sh*t till then? This is a game where we kill Nazis, I doubt feminazis are playing this or maybe they are? But why waste resources on this sh*t!
You know what else is delayed?….me ever buying this piece of sh*t. Delayed until hell freezes over.
Is this more of the same type of game as Wolfenstein 2 was? If so, I’ll pass.
Devs must be bored and depressed working on this game until 2020 lol damn dude
Lol luckily pc gamers can’t resell games.
Who would still have this ?
I pretty sure console gamers sold this with a week.
2020 ? ok
