Ray tracing is back to Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes after removal

Capcom had removed ray tracing support from Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, without a heads-up. As suspected by many, the removal was accidental, and it’s set to make a comeback.

As per the recent tweet by the developers, they have acknowledged the lack of raytracing options as well as the 3D audio option. They confirmed that the fixes to these will be addressed in a future update.

Although there is no fixed date confirmed for the release, this news brings much joy to the fans who were left confused by the sudden exclusion of raytracing from the remakes.

Also, this isn’t the first time Capcom had to fix an issue with their Resident Evil remakes. Earlier, they had to allow players to roll back to an older update, after the addition of ray-tracing support. This caused performance issues and triggered an overwhelming community response.

While both the games have been out for a while and are not receiving any additional content or major updates, few changes are coming to Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes in the future.

One such confirmed update is the end of support for the DirectX11 versions on both of these titles. This won’t be affecting users significantly in any sense.

The release of the Resident Evil 4 remake last month has set a strong precedent.

The Japanese publisher added the Mercenaries Mode to Resident Evil 4 Remake for free earlier this month. They are also working on the Ada Wong-focused DLC campaign titled “Separate Ways.” It is set to come out soon, according to reliable insider reports.
