Creative Assembly releases Total War: Warhammer 2’s PC system requirements

Sadly, Creative Assembly has not detailed any changes to the game’s DirectX 12 version, which remains as a “beta” option for the original Total War: Warhammer.   

Creative Assembly has also confirmed that Total War: Warhammer II is the most pre-ordered Total War game to date, showcasing just how much confidence fans have in the company’s latest product. 

 

Continuing the series trend for optimisation and performance improvement, the second game in CA’s fantasy-strategy trilogy will be playable on a wide range of PC systems. To achieve the gameplay gold-standard of 60FPS, Creative Assembly has also quoted a 60FPS @ 1080P spec alongside the minimum and recommended specs below.
