Mr Zyanide does not yet have a date on when this ray tracing project will be released for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. He only mentions that there is still a lot of work ahead of him, but that he is making enough progress. However, fans can be told that this is not a simple RT reshade mod. Rather, it is a native ray tracing mod that significantly beautifies and modernizes the graphics of this classic Star Wars game.
