Vulkan Support
When MachineGames started the development of Wolfenstein II, the choice of graphics API for PC was a simple one. DOOM had already set the stage for what could be done with Vulkan and we wanted to take it to the next level. Using Vulkan when developing the game enabled utilization AMD's VEGA graphics chips in ways that were not possible before, offering fine-grained control over the performance and feature set of the GPU without having to sacrifice artistic intent. Combined with the flexibility of AMD's hardware, Vulkan gives the artistic freedom to deliver Wolfenstein without compromise.
