Nvidia releases stunning RTX trailer for Metro Exodus’ The Two Colonels DLC

With the game’s “The Two Colonels” expansion, Metro Exodus has gained heightened support for raytraced global illumination, this time extending the effect to area lights, point lights and emissive lights. Before this, Metro’s raytraced Global Illumination was limited to light rays from the sun or moon, limiting the impact that players could have on scene lighting. 

In Metro’s “The Two Colonels” DLC, players will be able to see weapons like flamethrowers have an impact on scene lighting, see coloured bulbs and other lighting fixtures realistically impact scene lighting. This addition to Metro is perfect from this new DLC, as most of it takes place underground. 

  The first story expansion from Metro Exodus follows the story of Colonel Khlebnikov, father of Kirill, as Colonel Miller retraces his steps in the doomed station at Novosibirsk. Discover the story of the ill-fated residents and wield a brand new weapon, the flame-thrower, complete with ray-traced emissive lighting.
