Total War: Rome 2 system specs hold Shogun 2’s minimum requirements steady

Total War: Rome 2 is out now; here’s our Total War: Rome 2 review.

35Gb! I still remember The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion clambering atop my desktop and sweeping aside all of my folders with one dread, daedric limb to make room for its maleficent bottom – but it turns out Bethesda’s brightest isn’t large enough to fill even one of Rome 2’s shoes these days.

That said, Creative Assembly have stuck to their guns and delivered a set of base requirements in line with those of Rome 2’s 2011 predecessor. If you’re happy to compromise on resolution, a dual-core processor, two gig of RAM and a graphics card with all the lights on should see you routing the Gauls with the best of them come September 3.

Minimum

  • OS: XP/ Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8
  • Processor:2 GHz Intel Dual Core processor / 2.6 GHz Intel Single Core processor

  • DirectX®:9.0c

Phew – things got a little heavy towards the end there, didn’t they?
