Well just noticed that AOTS was included in the latest humble bundle monthly so wanted to see if it was supporting Vulkan yet (not super interested in RTS myself) and looks like support will be coming shortly:

## Vulkan ##

We were hoping to get Vulkan support included with the June patch for episode 3, but unfortunately it's being delayed to a later date. Draginol: "The NVIDIA dev team has been at the office all week helping us optimize Vulkan support for Ashes. We'll likely have to time our release on the Vulkan version with when NVIDIA and AMD have their driver updates that support the parts of Vulkan we're using."

AFAIK this will be the first game to offer DX11, DX12 and Vulkan all in a single game engine.

It took longer than expected to get Vulkan support running ...

I'd be interested in their case study of porting their Oxide Engine to the Metal API since it's design values very readable code, interface and the resource binding model isn't as complicated D3D12 or Vulkan's or deal with the increased flexibility the latter's provide ...
