Now that Vulkan is officially released, has the Frankfurt team had the chance to dive in to see about supporting this API alongside DirectX 12?asked by Kyran

We have looked at Vulkan, we're pretty excited by it. So we are considering our options between Vulkan and DirectX 12 we haven't made a full decision. But Vulkan has some advantages, the biggest one being, as long as it works properly that it can work on a PC but also work on Linux and work on other platforms, where as DirectX 12 is specifically just for Windows. They are both very similar architectures, essentially Vulkan's not that different from what Mantle was originally set up to be. So we're considering it. You never know whether we will do DirectX 12 or Vulkan first.
