The Release of the first graph­ics archi­tec­ture to sup­port Microsoft’s DirectX 11 has been fol­lowed with wide­spread adop­tion as AMD achieves a suc­cess­ful first strike in the next gen­er­a­tion GPU hard­ware bat­tle. Mean­while, many eager con­sumers have been keep­ing close watch for any solid con­fir­ma­tions regard­ing soft­ware titles to suc­cess­fully imple­ment the new ren­der­ing API.

Sev­eral gaming-oriented sites on the net have released evi­dence of con­fir­ma­tion from AMD that over twenty DirectX 11 titles are cur­rently in devel­op­ment, with one already avail­able and two more releas­ing before the end of Q4 2009. Before the end of this year, the list includes the now-available free­ware title Bat­tle­forge (EA), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (GSC), and Dirt 2 (CodeMasters)

It seems that AMD’s list has a time-sensitive release date mishap in regards to the upcom­ing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. title, which has recently been delayed until Q1 2010. On another note, we can expect to see the lat­est Alien vs. Preda­tor glim­mer in DirectX 11 glory in a few months this com­ing Feb­ru­ary. Around the same time­frame, Lord of the Rings Online and Dun­geons and Drag­ons Online: Eber­ron Unlim­ited will receive patch updates to sup­port the new graph­ics ren­der­ing API, but we wouldn’t count on a sig­nif­i­cant qual­ity boosts. Finally, we can expect China’s pop­u­lar MMORPG-market title Genghis Khan to receive a graph­ics API update as well.

Alien VS Preda­tor delayed till Feb­ru­ary next year

In addi­tion to games, sev­eral engines will be sup­port­ing DirectX 11 in 2010 includ­ing the Frost­bite 2 Engine (EA DICE), Uniengine Engine (Uniengine), Vision Engine (Trinigy), and the highly antic­i­pated CryEngine 3 (CryTek).

CryEngine 3 from Cry­Tek will be equip dX11 engine too.
