Total War: Warhammer 2 system requirements confirmed

Jam these specs into your slots

With Total War: Warhammer 2 [official site] now only four weeks away, launching on September 28th, developers The Creative Assembly have settled and announced the fantasy wargame's PC system requirements. They are, unsurprisingly, about the same as the first Twarham's requirements but very slightly raised so folks with sluggish PCs will want to check 'em out. And for folks with silicon-snorting framecrushers, beefy boxes bulging with ribs and oozing sauce, or chip-crunching cybermaws crammed with Datadeglovers™, they've detailed the sort of rig you'll need to slam 60fps.

I do like that Creative Assembly take a stab at the performance and resolutions we can expect from each specification. It's broadly understood that a game will kinda suck on the lowest spec but devs tend to shy away from stating that. Anyway, jam these numbers in your DIMM slot:

And for people who pleasure themselves vigorously over graphics options menus, Creative Assembly have also detailed the quality presets. Mash this to see 'em. I can't embed that table myself because it's weird to include niche erotica.
