Nvidia showcases PUBG Ally, Cinder City and new DLSS 4 titles

Nvidia is celebrating 25 years of GeForce at the GeForce Gamer Festival in South Korea this week. As part of the event, the next batch of DLSS-supported games were announced and on top of that, KRAFTON and NCSoft made appearances to showcase new games.

Krafton took to the stage to show off PUBG Ally, a new AI-powered co-op partner for the Battle Royale game utilising Nvidia ACE technology. The PUBG Ally will be available as part of a limited-time user test in 2026 for PUBG: Battlegrounds Arcade. The information gathered here will help developers work out how to improve AI using on-device Small Language Models.

For NCSoft's side, attendees were given hands-on time with two upcoming games, AION 2 and CINDER CITY. AION 2 is a next-gen MMO planned to launch in Korea and Taiwan in November, with plans for a global launch later in the year. Meanwhile, Cinder City is an open-world tactical shooter, planned for release in 2026.

Aside from all of that, there are four games launching with DLSS technology this week, ARC Raiders, the new extraction shooter, will launch with day-one support for DLSS 4. Battlefield REDSEC, the free-to-play spin-off and home of Battlefield's Battle Royale mode, also launched this week with DLSS 4 baked in.

Duet Night Abyss is launching worldwide this week, with day-one support for DLSS 4, and finally, Directive 8020 will launch in early 2026 packed with RTX technologies, including Path Tracing, DLSS 4 and DLSS Ray Reconstruction.

KitGuru Says: It will be interesting to see how well the PUBG Ally performs when it becomes available for public testing. Will it be easy to tell the bots from the real players? Or will they blend in well enough to present a threat?
