Horizon Forbidden Wes: Complete Edition won't feature Ray Tracing

The new announcement trailer for Horizon: Forbidden West: Complete Edition has been released on the Nvidia YouTube channel, showcasing all the modern Nvidia features that will be employed in the upcoming game.

A trailer introducing the PC version of Horizon: Forbidden West has recently been unveiled on Nvidia's official YouTube channel. Accompanying the trailer is a showcase of the advanced features of Nvidia graphics cards, highlighting the technology that will enhance the visual experience of this stunning game.

From the trailer, it becomes evident that Horizon: Forbidden West will incorporate Nvidia's DLSS 3 AI performance booster, along with Nvidia DLAA for improved image quality and Nvidia Reflex for low-latency technology. These features represent standard settings for contemporary games aiming to maximise the capabilities of high-end Nvidia graphics cards.

An intriguing observation that quickly captured our attention, as well as that of YouTube users, is the absence of Ray Tracing support in the presentation. This omission is surprising, especially when considering the widespread adoption of this technology over an extended period, even in some less visually appealing titles.

The PC version of Horizon: Forbidden West goes by the name Horizon: Forbidden West: Complete Edition, as it will incorporate the sole DLC released for the game, Burning Shores. This parallels the approach taken with the PC release of Horizon: Zero Dawn, which also featured The Frozen Wilds DLC in its Complete Edition.

Concerning the release date, the trailer did not provide any new information, and Horizon: Forbidden West is still slated for release in 2024. Nevertheless, judging by the announcement trailer, there's a likelihood that the release might happen sooner rather than later.

Up until now, Horizon: Forbidden West has been accessible on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and the Burning Shores DLC has remained exclusive to PlayStation 5.
