Activision, Ubisoft, Mojang and Paradox Interactive have released the first official ray tracing trailers for their titles. According to the teams, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Watch_Dogs Legion, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 and Minecraft will officially support RTX effects.
As NVIDIA noted, Infinity Ward will be using ray tracing for shadows. These ray tracing effects will be within both the single-player campaign and 2v2 Gunfight multiplayer mode.
On the other hand, Paradox Interactive will use ray tracing in order to enhance its lighting and reflections. These new RTX effects promise to improve the visuals of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
For Watch_Dogs Legion, Ubisoft will use RTX ray tracing in order to improve reflections. According to the team, this will enhance shops, skyscrapers, puddles, cars, and so much more.
Last but not least, Mojang will use ray tracing for its shadows, lighting and reflections. Thus, the lighting is upgraded to real-time global illumination, emissive blocks like Glowstone and Lava can illuminate environments, water, glass and other reflective surfaces show accurate real-time reflections and shading and shadowing gains lifelike accuracy.
Enjoy!

Modern Warfare will have this week (22/23 – 26 August) OPEN ALPHA for Gunfight mode some inside people telling me that it will be only on P$4.
Info will drop on GC by Infinity Ward which was to be “Special Announcement”
Minecraft has the most impressive implantation, it’s not just some fancy reflections it’s the lighting itself that changes the atmosphere of the game.
True. It’s especially cool in this game because it’s very simplistic in the vanilla game, so the difference is huge.
Not to mention, it’s a game where you can build or destroy almost anything. The lighting reacting to all these changes is what makes it so impressive.
And it doesn’t even require an rtx card.
How do you impress the brain dead? With flashy lights and colours, as always.
So now we now why Microsoft cancelled the Super Duper graphics pack for Minecraft.
Because instead of doing it for free, they got a bag of money from nvidia to do it requiring their videocards.
Lame rats. Both.
Nope. The work that was done for the super duper graphics pack is now a part of the Render Dragon engine update. And you’ll be able to use that without an RTX capable GPU.
You’re being so gullible… Non of the many shader mods available require raytracing capabilities and btw achieve much nicer results, and you have light mods for little performance cost or heavier ones to max visuals. That alone is already enough argument.
But yeah, you “will be able to play it on other cards” not mentioning a massive fps drop, and that you’ll need a relatively new and powerful card.
Non of which would have been needed without nvidia in between.
Dude what are you talking about. Re read what I said.
ONLY the features from the super duper graphics pack are being moved to the Render dragon engine. That doesn’t include ANY raytracing stuff. Non-raytracing stuff will run perfectly on non-rtx GPU’s. No performance loss.

lol, modern warfare looks better with rtx off.
Artistic capability > RTX shortcuts.
I guess Microsoft is finally trying to cash in on what Sonic Ether started with SEUS PTGI. I’m curious to see which implementation turns out better, because they didn’t bother showing off real time caustics in the trailer posted above. However, their version will make use of the RT Cores on the RTX series cards, so I’m betting theirs runs better, but Sonic Ethers’ may be the prettiest.
Jesus Christ! I just opened up DSO and there is a truck load of videos, screens, news and new games all over the place! Today is going to be a good day m/ 🙂 m/
Thanks John, I have a feeling this whole week is going to be solid.
cod’s new engine looks so seksy, it’s unbelievable. those empty shotgun casings popping out like that made me so hard.
