PC graphics obsessed tech site VideoCardz has published a long list of upcoming PC games titles which will support the AMD Mantle API. The list, emanating from a source known only as 'Frank', includes such blockbuster titles as; GTA V, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and a new Mass Effect game.

The Mantle API games support list has been divided into three sections by VideoCardz and I have reproduced the full table below:

Game Developer Engine Released Battlefield 4 DICE, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Thief Eidos Montreal, Nixxes Software Unreal Engine 3 Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare PopCap Games, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Sniper Elite 3 (Mantle not yet available) Rebellion Asura Unreleased (Confirmed Mantle support) Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth Firaxis Games LORE Star Citizen Cloud Imperium Games, Behaviour Interactive CryEngine Dragon Age: Inquisition BioWare, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Battlefield: Hardline Visceral Games, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Offworld Trading Company Mohawk Games, Oxide Games Nitrous Engine Mass Effect (untitled) BioWare, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Mirror’s Edge (untitled) DICE, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Star Control Stardock, Oxide Games Nitrous Engine Star Wars: Battlefront DICE, Frostbite Team Frostbite 3 Rise of the Tomb Raider Crystal Dynamics, Nixxes Software Crystal Sims 4 Maxis in-house Dying Light Techland Chrome Engine 6 Unannounced title Oxide Games Nitrous Engine Unreleased (Mantle support pending) Homefront: The Revolution Crytek CryEngine Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Treyarch in-house Alien: Isolation Creative Assembly in-house Elite: Dangerous Frontier Developments Cobra Engine Grand Theft Auto V Rockstar Games R.A.G.E. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Crystal Dynamics, Nixxes Software in-house Kingdom Come: Deliverance Warhorse CryEngine Lichdom: Battlemage Xaviant CryEngine Sleeping Dogs: Triad Wars United Front Games in-house

The last category of games, tabulated above as 'Unreleased (Mantle support pending)', comes from a list of games whose developers have signed up to a "private AMD beta program," reports VideoCardz. This means that if they don't end up being Mantle API supporting games they will still be AMD Gaming Evolved titles. As suggested by VideoCardz, Mantle support in GTA V would be a major coup for AMD.

Much of the above are just rumours and speculation for now but VideoCardz' previous list of "upcoming games to support Mantle," from March, was correct in listing the likes of Battlefield Hardline, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. These three games were only confirmed as Mantle titles by AMD late last month. These are interesting times in the war between the red and the green teams.
