Developer Game Science has announced that the PC version for Black Myth: Wukong will have full DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, Ray Tracing support, full ray traced shadows, water reflections, illumination lighting, and more. A full raytracing video for the game was also released. Black Myth: Wukong will launch for August 20, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
The full details via Nvidia:
“Enabling Full Ray Tracing in Black Myth: Wukong sees environmental effects and detail taken to the next level. Reflections on water reflect all surrounding detail. Water caustics add further realism, accurately rendering the refraction and reflection of light. Fully ray-traced Global Illumination ensures lighting indoors and outdoors is pixel perfect, darkening areas where light is occluded or doesn’t reach, and realistically illuminating the world by bouncing light. And in concert with the lighting system, contact hardening and softening fully ray traced shadows are cast everywhere, rendering the smallest of shadows from leaves and pebbles, and those from geometry-rich buildings, the main character, and the gigantic bosses that must be overcome.”
