Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora to Have Ray-Tracing on All the Time - News

Tweet

Publisher Ubisoft developer Massive Entertainment during the Ubisoft Forward E3 2021 showcase earlier this month announced first person, action-adventure game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora technical director of programming Nikolay Stefanov speaking with Gamestar said the game will be taking full advantage of ray-tracing and that every version of the game will ray-tracing on all the game. 

"[Avatar] will be a title that will only appear with ray-tracing," said Stefanov. "But we're developing the game so that the quality and performance will be scalable."

If you have a PC with a card that doesn't support hardware-based ray-tracing, the game will use software ray-tracing as a solution. He did say software ray-tracing calculations are "surprisingly fast."

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna in 2022.
