Return to Castle Wolfenstein with path tracing will be released at the end of 2023

In June, AMD Senior Graphics Research Engineer Dihara Wijetunga added ray tracing to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, based on an open source version based on the iortcw engine and DirectX 12 support.

Vijetunga is going to include a more realistic technology called path tracing in the classic shooter.

The project is at an early stage of development, but there is already an estimated release window — the end of 2023.

According to the author, over the past weekend he managed to supplement the modification with basic upscaling technologies, including FSR 2, DLSS 2 and XeSS in the shooter.
