Total War: WARHAMMER II System Specs Announced

The system requirements of Total War: Warhammer II are rather similar to Total War: Warhammer. You’ll need a Core i5-4570 and a GeForce GTX 760 or Radeon R9 270X to begin with. 

And that will run the game at 50 frames per second. 

With the game now nearing release, system specs and a range of new graphical features to enrich players’ experiences in the New World can be revealed.

These include:

• Improved Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
• New volumetric fog system which thickens the air, producing god-ray effects
• New sharpening filter
• Impressive wet-look surfaces, appropriate to certain models and model features

We’re in the final stage of development now and very excited by the comments coming out of our closed testing and mock reviews,” said Rob Bartholomew, Brand Director, “loads of love for the new features, races and the sheer volume of gameplay. Great to see that expectation reflected in the number of pre-orders being placed, it really helps motivate us for that final push.”
