Flashy New Gameplay Trailer Reveals Witchfire Will Use NVIDIA DLSS3 Technology

Polish developer The Astronauts have revealed a new trailer for their upcoming rogue-lite shooter Witchfire. In addition to showing off some new gameplay clips, it announces that the game will use NVIDIA DLSS3 technology, which a press release says will “massively boost performance.” Watch the trailer here.

Announced by NVIDIA last September, DLSS 3 can boost a game’s performance by a significant margin. One demo on NVIDIA’s site shows two instances of Cyberpunk 2077 running at 96 FPS with ray tracing still enabled. “DLSS 3 allows the seemingly impossible, high framerate without compromising the visuals,” Adrian Chmielarz, creative director and co-founder of The Astronauts says in a press release. This is a great choice for Witchfire which is both beautiful and action.

Witchfire is a dark fantasy first-person shooter from the creators of Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Set in an alternate reality, players are caught in the middle of a war between witches and the Church, and must use weapons and powers from Vatican sorcerers to defeat their enemies. 

Although the game will be available in Early Access at Epic Games Store later this year (though that was not always the case), Last October saw the game delayed due to changes made by the team. It is clear that the studio continues to work on this trailer. We hope it will be finished in early 2023.
