Developed by Tencent Next Studios, SYNCED : Off-Planet is a brand-new PvPvE franchise that has players fighting each other, while surviving over a thousand Nano Zombies!
It will use NVIDIA RTX real-time ray tracing technology to deliver photo-realistic image quality with ray-traced reflections and shadows.
Lakes, puddles, wet surfaces, shiny surfaces and numerous other objects and game elements will naturally reflect surrounding detail.
And all shadows will be upgraded with realistic contact hardening and softening, as you see in the real-world.

Gamescom 2019 Ray Tracing Showcase Of Wolfenstein : Youngblood
Wolfenstein : Youngblood launched without real-time ray tracing support, but that will soon change.
Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames are preparing a major update that will enhance the game with ray-traced reflections and ray-traced ambient occlusion shadowing!
Ray-Traced Reflections
Ray-Traced Reflections will accurately simulate the way light reflects on glossy and metal surfaces by tracing a single bounce of reflection rays across the scene.
Materials affected include smooth, natural mirrors, like windows and water, but also rougher surfaces like brushed metal.
Ambient Occlusion
Ambient Occlusion adds contact shadows where two surfaces or objects meet, and where an object blocks light from reaching another nearby game element.
Without Ambient Occlusion, scenes look flat and unrealistic, and objects appear as if they are floating.
Here are two screenshot comparisons to demonstrate the effect of real-time ray tracing in Wolfenstein : Youngblood!
