The game's story focuses on containing the Hiss, an invasive micro-organism that has broken the confinement of the FBC and is spreading all over Manhattan. The game features multiple upgrades over Control's ray-traced graphics engine, to provide a path-traced mode that features path-traced direct and indirect lighting across the entire environment. Similar to 007 First Light's recent path tracing update, Control Resonant's path tracing mode is super challenging to run, and puts even the RTX 5090 to its knees.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is an upcoming Remaster of the highly popular Witcher game that incorporates a variety of improvements over the original, including a reimagined skill system, overhauled animations, improved combat and more. The game has also been upgraded graphically to include a path tracing mode with path-traced hair rendering.
AION 2 is an upcoming fantasy MMORPG that focuses on aerial combat, featuring a variety of ways to play the game including solo instances and large-scale raids. Each player plays as a Daeva, a fully customizable character with wings that can be adapted to several classes: Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Elementalist, Cleric, and Chanter.
