Bethesda e id Software anunciaron hoy que DOOM Eternal se ha actualizado hoy para añadir ray tracing y el DLSS de Nvidia. Los usuarios de tarjetas GeForce precisarán los drivers 471.11 WHQL, que agregan soporte para ray tracing y DLSS para el cuestión en cuestión, como también soporte oficial para F1 2021, LEGO Builder’s Journe y Rust. Los de AMD, precisarán el set Adrenalin 21.6.2 lanzado en el día de ayer.

«Bethesda Softworks, id Software y NVIDIA han trabajado juntos para llevar el DLSS y el ray tracing de NVIDIA a DOOM Eternal, y hoy se libera a través de un parche del juego. Los jugadores que utilizan la plataforma de juegos GeForce RTX han recibido hoy una actualización instantánea: mejores imágenes con reflejos trazados por rayos y mayor rendimiento sin sacrificar la calidad de la imagen con DLSS.

DOOM es una célebre franquicia de juegos, y DOOM Eternal se lanzó el año pasado con el beneplácito de la crítica y la adoración de los fans. Con la ayuda de idTech, el motor de juego increíblemente rápido de id, DOOM Eternal supera los límites visuales añadiendo reflejos con trazado de rayos y la mejora del rendimiento con NVIDIA DLSS. Wolfenstein: Youngblood fue el primer juego basado en el motor de id Tech que añadió ray tracing y DLSS, DOOM Eternal es el segundo.»

La actualización 6 también trae la promesa gráfica del renderizado de trazado de rayos a los jugadores cuyos sistemas son compatibles con la tecnología. Con una iluminación más precisa y reflejos de superficie dinámicos en tiempo real, el trazado de rayos lleva las imágenes de DOOM Eternal a nuevas alturas.

Una experiencia de combate completamente nueva, construida desde cero, destinada a desafiar al jugador más allá de lo visto en la campaña base.

Los nuevos peligros y condiciones ambientales mantienen al jugador alerta y cambian su forma de pensar sobre el combate.  Todas las recompensas nuevas, como íconos de jugadores, placas de identificación y cosméticos, se pueden obtener al completar el nivel maestro de Taras Nabad en diferentes dificultades y modos.»

Nueva arena para BATTLEMODE y mucho más

El modo BATTLEMODE 2c1 de DOOM Eternal también va a ampliarse con una nueva arena: Corrosión. Además, la actualización 6 incluye cambios para BATTLEMODE y mejora el modo multijugador de DOOM Eternal con numerosas optimizaciones, correcciones de bugs y ajustes de equilibrio. Ah, y, además, para celebrar el lanzamiento de la actualización 6, los jugadores recibirán el nuevo y flamante diseño de balista Trazador de rayos como recompensa al iniciar sesión.

La última arena de BATTLEMODE: Corrosion es una fortaleza olvidada que ha sido devastada por un pantano infernal. Los jugadores participarán en frenéticos tiroteos a través de las almenas exteriores y emboscarán profundamente en las catacumbas interiores. El Courtyard actúa como la pieza central de la arena y brinda cobertura con muchas opciones de movilidad. Espera un gran potencial de enfrentamiento entre los jugadores demoníacos y DOOM Slayer en esta nueva arena.
