reports Blizard is working on ray tracing for World of Warcraft. This feature is part of the Shadowlands expansion pack and will offer users three levels of detail; from Fair to High. Should be a nice upgrade for this MMO, which was originally launched in 2004.
Blizzard Entertainment is bringing a key upgrade to World of Warcraft's graphics just in time for an entire expansion about shadows: Ray tracing. A new Ray Traced Shadows option was added to the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands alpha this week, and though it's currently disabled, it'll be a boon to those with RTX-enabled graphics cards.
It's clearly completely optional, and it's very unlikely that WoW will stop running on anything short of a ham sandwich any time soon, but I'm sure there's a sizable group of people excited about the graphical update.
