[h3]Champions... BEHOLD![/h3]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Over the last year we have painstakingly implemented Ray Tracing into AMID EVIL.

For no reason other than it looks friggin' sweet.

The game also now supports DLSS 2.0 for MAXIMUM FPS



To launch AE RTX, be sure to do so from your Steam Library.

(If not you'll have to add -DX12 to your launch options)

Need to know more? Leon made a handy guide for you!

Well now there's a FREE DEMO.

You are officially OUT of excuses.

Go forth and crank up that GPU.

RTX Beta Update



[h3]Champions (with graphical processing to spare) you've been waiting for THIS.[/h3]
Our FINAL round of RTX beta testing has BEGUN.

After nearly a YEAR since we first put ray tracing features into the game, we're almost ready for FULL LAUNCH thanks to our friends at Nvidia.

Before you hop in, we highly recommend you grab the latest drivers from the GeForce website!

But not before we get one more round of feedback and testing from YOU.

[h3]So what can you expect?![/h3] Accurate enemy shadows



Fully accurate reflections



Pixel perfect geometry shadows



New features like LIGHT BOOST



And REFLECTION BOOST!



[h3]So what do we want you to test?[/h3]


  1. Can you get the game to CRASH?! If so, how! Reproduce those steps and send them to us!

  2. Are there any areas where you get MEGA performance drops? Not normal perf drops due to an abundance of lights and shadows and enemies (that will happen) but places where performance just seems... WRONG.

  3. New BUGS! Do you get any issues with levels or enemies that aren't present in the base game? Let us know so we can fix them!
You can get on the RTX Beta testing branch by selecting it from the BETAS tab in game properties!



[h3]Now, I know what some of you are saying.[/h3] "Voice of the Ancients! (or Dave) I don't have an RTX GPU!"

"I just want to know more about... THE BLACK LABYRINTH",

Well, my Champions... BEHOLD.

NEW LEVELS



NEW ENEMIES



And a trip...

TO THE SHADOW REALM



For those of you who've been living under a low poly rock and somehow DIDN'T KNOW we were making a FULL PREQUEL EXPANSION to AMID EVIL, here's the original Black Labyrinth reveal trailer:

And don't forget to keep up with our #ScreenshotSaturday development posts (almost) every week!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're looking forward to seeing all your screenshots, videos, performance reports and bugs!

[h3]And then our full RTX + DLSS launch coming... SOON™[/h3]
May your framerates remain HIGH and your visuals stay DANK.

Here are all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games so far


Ray tracing is the hot new graphics tech of 2021, and Nvidia have just announced another fresh crop of ray tracing and DLSS games that are coming to PC later this year. To help you keep track of them all, I’ve created this list of all the confirmed ray tracing games you can play on PC right now, as well which ones will be getting ray tracing support in the future. And because ray tracing tends to go hand in hand with Nvidia’s performance-boosting DLSS tech these days, I’ve also listed all the current and upcoming games that support DLSS as well.
