Few indie games can pull off an explosive debut as The Ascent did at the Xbox Series X showcase event in May 2020. Developed by the Swedish indie studio known as Neon Giant (founded by former Bulletstorm and Wolfenstein developers ), The Ascent impressed many right away with its blend of triple-A graphics production values and high-octane top-down shooting, a mix that we don t exactly see every day.
But The Ascent promises much more than that, including classic roleplaying elements like character progression and loot, four-player coop support, and the ability to freely roam (vertically as much as horizontally) a cyberpunk world called Veles where the dominant megacorporation has just collapsed, leaving a vacuum of power.

The hype surrounding Dying Light 2 should come as no surprise to anyone who played the first installment, really, given how well that game fared both critically and commercially.
While Polish developer Techland made hit games before, such as Dead Island and the Call of Juarez series, Dying Light was on another scale entirely with its over 18 million unique players across all platforms. The fan base is so huge that Techland still holds in-game events, such as the Zombie Hunt Event that took place last month as part of the celebrations for the game s sixth anniversary.
Of course, fans also very much long for Dying Light 2 at this point. First announced at E3 2018, the sequel aims to be much more ambitious than the original as it adds a whole underlying RPG system based on choices and consequences.

After DirectX 12 Ultimate was announced, we started adding new tests to 3DMark to show how games can benefit from these new features.
Our latest addition is the 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test, a new test that shows how game developers can boost frame rates by using mesh shaders in the graphics pipeline.
What is a mesh shader?
Mesh shaders introduce a new approach to geometry processing that simplifies the graphics pipeline while also giving developers more flexibility and control.
