the current release notes don't say anything about DX12 that I noticed.
Epic did say that Preview 1 is just a selection of the full UE4.11 update.

That hair effect (especially on the left) is superb. I've been disappointed by the recent TressFX and nVidia Hairworks features as of late. Their movement is "ok', but strands are treated as thick units...making it look like straw.

As much as I'm excited about DX12...I'm still hesitant regarding developer's ability/desire to commit to optimized PC titles.

I believe many devs have been waiting for this and the associated hand-holding before being able to implement DX12 into games. If I recall, there was a reddit AMA where the ARK:SE developers said just that and in patch notes, it has continually been postponed, apparently to little or no fault of their own. Maybe it will finally happen.... in January =) Correct me please... if am off-base in that line of thinking.

This company seems to be doing quite a decent job.
So far most stuff looks really promising in Unreal Engine 4.
