‘Watch Dogs: Legion’ to Support DirectX Raytracing on PC, Powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX
June 10 2019 - 5:15PM
E3 -- NVIDIA and Ubisoft today announced that NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™
is the official graphics platform for Ubisoft’s upcoming 2020
release, Watch Dogs®: Legion.
Watch Dogs: Legion will use real-time ray tracing and other
advanced NVIDIA gaming technologies to create stunning visuals in
the highly anticipated third installment of the AAA, open world,
action-adventure Watch Dogs franchise.
“Ubisoft goes to painstaking lengths to recreate the cities
featured in their games, and ray tracing will add unprecedented
depth to the look and feel of the London setting for Watch Dogs:
Legion,” said Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA.
“NVIDIA’s history of collaborating with Watch Dogs goes back to the
beginning of the franchise, and we’re ready to wow PC gamers once
again with ray tracing in the latest installment.”
Ray tracing is the advanced graphics technique used to give
movies their ultra-realistic visual effects. NVIDIA GeForce RTX
GPUs contain specialized processor cores designed specifically to
accelerate ray tracing so the visual effects in games can be
rendered in real time.
“Watch Dogs: Legion’s near-future London comes alive with a
vibrance and realism that can only be achieved with ray tracing,”
said Chris Early, vice president of Partnerships & Revenue at
Ubisoft. “GeForce RTX is leading gaming into the future and is the
perfect platform to focus on for Watch Dogs: Legion.”
Watch Dogs: Legion delivers a never-before-seen gameplay
innovation that allows you to recruit and play as anyone you see in
the iconic city of London. Every single character in the open world
is playable, and everyone has a backstory, personality and skillset
that will help you personalize your own unique team. Bring your
characters online and join forces with friends to take back London
in four-player co-op missions, end-game challenges and daily
events. Welcome to the Resistance.
