Stay in the shadows
Something you could never accuseA Plague Tale: Requiemof is a lack of eye candy. As grim, gory, and engulfed in rats as this medieval stealth adventure is,mon dieuis it a looker on PC. For those among us with one of the brawniergraphics cardson the market, it’s just become even prettier too, via the slightly delayed implementation ofray tracing.

Speaking of delays, Requiem released in October 2022, so it’s taken a few months for developers Asobo Studio to get those traced rays in a shippable state. Hints towards the feature were present in the game’s .ini file back at launch, mind, so the arrival of RT shadows might not come as a surprise if you’ve been keeping a close eye on proceedings. Whatisunusual is the lack of fanfare: normally when a game gets flashy PC extras like ray tracing or DLSS, it’s all over Nvidia’s blog, or at the very least announced in a tweet. I can’t even find patch notes for the update in question, Update 1.004.
Ah well. Ray traced shadows, they’re there if you want ‘em. Also, this post-launch polish of Requiem’s visuals has reminded me – what the heck happened to thatElden Ringray tracing update supposedly in the works? Besides that one modder managing to enable acompletely busted versionof it?
