The creator of the DS2LightingEngine modification is working on a new version of the project that will add full global illumination support based on ray tracing (RTGI) to Dark Souls 2. There is no exact release date for the update yet, but modder Ganaboy has published the first images demonstrating the changes in lighting.
According to the author, RTGI will be integrated directly and is not an analogue of ReShade-based solutions. For demonstration, he presented a comparison: the screenshots show the original lighting of the game compared to RTGI, where an increase in contrast, shadow depth and overall image quality is noticeable.
Below are additional screenshots of the updated version of DS2LightingEngine.
