Dishonored 2 Requirements Released – Can You Run It?

Dishonored was a fantastic game, letting you mix up the stealth and full-on action to your liking throughout, and with Dishonored 2 set to take things to the next level when it launches on November 11th, we’re super excited to check this game out.

Ahead of the games launch, Bethesda has revealed the PC requirements, and they’re pretty hefty, with the minimum being a GTX 660 2GB/AMD HD 7970 3GB and an Intel Core i5-2400/AMD FX-8320, not exactly new hardware, but not exactly lacking in decent power either. The recommended spec take things up to an i7, 16GB of RAM and a GTX 1060/RX480, and you can bet that you’ll want well above that for 4K or high frame rate gaming.

The game looks like it’ll deploy plenty of graphics features, such as adaptive resolution, FoV, HBAO+, TXAA and more. Of course, let’s not forget about rat and bloodfly shadows…

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
