It seems that will not be the only re-release in which NVIDIA will add real-time ray tracing effects. According to the job listing, the company is recruiting for a studio that will specialize in adding RTX effects to re-releases of other classic PC games.
As follows from the description , NVIDIA has launched a promising new game re-release program: βWe're taking some of the greatest titles from decades past and bringing them into the ray tracing era. In this way, we will give them state-of-the-art visuals while retaining the gameplay that made games great. The NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios team is up for the challenge, starting with a project you know and love, but we can't expand on that here."
It should be noted that NVIDIA created this job 17 days ago. In other words, after the release of Quake 2 RTX. So under the words "the project we know and love" is not Quake 2.
There are two older games that can really benefit from ray tracing effects are Unreal and Doom 3. At the time, Doom 3 got cutting edge technology with realistic shadows and fully dynamic lighting, so it could get even better with RTX. On the other hand, Unreal was one of the first games to seriously raise the bar for first-person shooter graphics, and it would also be interesting to see ray-traced lighting in it too.
Unfortunately, there is no further information about upcoming re-releases of classic PC games that will receive ray tracing. Let's hope NVIDIA reveals more details about their next RTX-enabled remaster soon.
