AION 2 is a next-generation MMORPG developed by NC, reimagining the original AION universe with a fresh approach. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, AION 2 delivers a highly immersive fantasy experience with high-end graphics, gameplay enhancements, new movement and fighting mechanics that incorporate gliding and flying, making large-scale and open-field battles more dynamic and exciting.

Having launched late last year in Korea and Taiwan, AION 2 will launch globally on September 30th for buyers of the game’s Founder’s Pack, followed by a full free-to-play release on October 5th.

When the global version is released on September 30th, AION 2 will include support for DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Multi Frame Generation, enabling the highest levels of image quality and performance on all GeForce RTX GPUs.

Remedy Entertainment’s CONTROL Resonant is launching September 24th with DLSS 4.5 and path tracing. In the sequel to the multi-award-winning CONTROL, you’ll explore the expansive zones of a ravaged Manhattan, overrun by the corrupting influences of the chaotic Hiss, invasive micro-organism, the Mold, and other twisted paranatural threats.

Take control of Dylan Faden, brother of FBC Director Jesse Faden, as he bids to comprehend and contain the dangers that have spilled beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear our world apart, and to unlock the full potential of his paranatural abilities.

CONTROL was a stunning graphical showcase, with multiple, immersive ray-traced effects enhancing every aspect of the game. CONTROL Resonant takes image quality and immersion to the next level with more advanced path-traced effects, DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation. Learn more in our CONTROL Resonant launch article.

If you need to upgrade your system ahead of the game’s release, our CONTROL Resonant GeForce RTX 50 Series bundle is available until September 29th, giving you a Steam copy of the game with the purchase of qualifying GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 desktops or graphics cards, or a laptops with GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti or 5070 Laptop GPUs at participating retailers and etailers, while supplies last.

Experience the horror and brutality of Emergence Day. Fourteen years before the original Gears of War, join Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago in a gripping origin-story campaign as the Locust Horde first erupt from below, igniting a desperate fight for survival. Then, rally your squad and fight on in multiplayer with a reimagination of Gears’ iconic PvE mode, Horde Siege, or go head-to-head with a refined Versus PvP.

Built from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5 and DirectX 12, Gears of War: E-Day delivers unprecedented graphical fidelity by leveraging the engine’s latest technologies. MegaLights powers  performant rendering of ray-traced shadows from up to 100 light sources, while Lumen enables ray-traced global illumination lighting and ambient occlusion shading. And other new engine advancements enable real-time destruction, widescale use of volumetric effects and particles, and larger, more explosive set pieces. Combined, these technologies deliver players the most technically ambitious and visceral Gears of War entry to date.

Thanks to a technical partnership with Gears of War: E-Day developer The Coalition, GeForce RTX gamers can activate a suite of features to accelerate and further enhance Gears of War: E-Day, delivering the definitive PC experience:

DLSS Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation will multiply frame rates, whilst simultaneously increasing image quality.

NVIDIA Reflex will reduce PC latency, making gameplay even more responsive, and possibly giving you a competitive edge in Versus.

And the Ray Tracing cores found in all GeForce RTX GPUs will accelerate the rendering of Unreal Engine 5.8’s Lumen and MegaLights ray tracing technologies.

Additionally, to further increase fidelity and player immersion, Gears of War E-Day leverages Unreal Engine’s Nanite to increase object detail and fidelity by up to 100X in comparison to Gears 5. On GeForce RTX PCs, NVIDIA RTX Mega Geometry is utilized to enable accurate ray tracing of Nanite geometry for the very first time, elevating image quality. Objects will be more detailed, reflections will be more accurate, and extra ray-traced shadows and ambient occlusion shadowing will be rendered. Learn more here.

Altogether, all GeForce RTX players will be able to experience Gears of War: E-Day with higher frame rates, higher levels of image quality, and with even more responsive controls, giving them the ultimate Gears of War: E-Day PC experience when Early Access begins on October 1st, and when the full release follows on October 6th.

CD PROJEKT RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one of the best-selling and highest-rated role-playing games of all time, is being improved with a slew of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered.

The partnership between NVIDIA and CD PROJEKT RED began when the game was originally released in 2015, before it was updated with even more features in 2022 through the Next-Gen Update. And on September 29th, NVIDIA will be delivering even more cutting-edge features through Remastered.

The free upgrade includes a reimagined skill system, overhauled animations, improved combat, Cross Platform Mod Support, immersive meditation, an expanded photo mode, and much more. When it comes to NVIDIA technology in particular, players can upgrade to path tracing, with line swept sphere (LSS) path-traced hair rendering enhancing the game’s famous NVIDIA HairWorks technology. And to ensure these new path-traced effects look their very best, DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction is also being introduced.

Additionally, DLSS Super Resolution is being upgraded to version 4.5, increasing detail and image quality. Frame Generation will run faster and with lower latency. And Dynamic Multi Frame Generation will allow up to 6X frame multiplication on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.
