Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has struggled to find a following on PS4 and PC over the past few years and Square Enix is pulling the plug. Square Enix has announced that no more updates are planned after March 5th. Online will remain for the game but it’s already difficult enough to find full matches. Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade’s final update releases a bit earlier on February 20th, marking a sooner end date for updates.

Currently, no plans are confirmed for a sequel to NT. Hopefully, the Dissidia Final Fantasy franchise comes back strong with a title that brings the series back to its roots. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!

Intel, AMD and Nvidia are working together for standardized ray tracing in Vulkan

Ray tracing has been a selling point of the RTX series of Nvidia GPUs but not widely adopted as developers and companies want it to be. GDC 2020 is coming soon and one of the developer panels is hosted by the Khronos Group, the company behind the successful Vulkan API. In the panel, members of Intel, AMD and Nvidia will be talking together about standardized ray tracing in Vulkan. This is an interesting discussion to be made as AMD is working on ray tracing support for their upcoming GPUs. In addition, Intel is working on their own GPUs which could have ray tracing support. However, ray tracing is not at a standard yet across the board so this upcoming panel could help in that regard. More details about the panel are available here.
