Developer and publisher The Astronauts have announced that their upcoming title Witchfire is getting NVIDIA DLSS 3. The Polish studio is currently working on its new rogue-lite shooter and has released a new gameplay trailer showcasing Witchfire’s rapid gunplay and open-world design. You should note here that Witchfire is not an open-world game but features an open-world game design.
Check out the new trailer for Witchfire below featuring new gameplay, a new level, and NVIDIA’s propriety tech in action:
Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director and Co-Founder of The Astronauts details how implementing the DLSS 3 technology in Witchfire will affect the development of the game:
You start the game, push all graphics options to the max. You enjoy it for a while but then, especially if it’s an action game, you realize that the framerate is king. So you start lowering the quality of visuals in order to achieve that smooth gameplay. DLSS 3 allows the seemingly impossible, high framerate without compromising the visuals. A no brainer for a game like Witchfire, which is both action and beauty.
NVIDIA DLSS 3 is a technology that a lot of fans love because it massively boosts the performance of the game without compromising the visuals. It is powered by fourth-generation Tensor Cores and a new Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, the DLSS 3 uses AI to generate additional high-quality frames with great image quality and responsiveness. It is considered a revolutionary breakthrough in neural graphics and the new title Witchfire will be using this amazing technology for optimization.
Witchfire is being developed by The Astronauts, the developer behind Painkiller and Bulletstorm and it is a first-person shooter set in a grimdark fantasy world where a deadly war is raging between powerful witches and the Church. In this alternate reality, witches are very real and very dangerous, and witch hunters are equally dangerous and powerful. You are a witch hunter in the game, and you are armed with an ungodly array of guns and forbidden magic as you combat dark terrors and take them down.
Witchfire was originally developed as an arena fighter however the design of the game was later changed to open-level combat and the game will be released this year in Early Access. Additional details about a potential release date and what sort of content will be available in the game for its Early Access release will be revealed at a later stage. An Epic Games Store page is now live for Witchfire where you can add the game to your wishlist and also keep up with all of the future news.
