The Mummy Demastered Launching October 24

Sure big-budget AAA games such as Assassin’s Creed: Origins and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus are coming out this week. However, how about trying an old-school 2D-sidscroller based on a big-budget Hollywood movie? Then The Mummy Demastered might be right up your wheelhouse. The title by publisher/developer WayForward studio is based on the recent critically panned Tom Cruise movie.

The move to create a 16-bit Metal Slug/Contra-style game may not be because the studio ran out of budget, but rather because it is easier to make and release on time than a full-fledged 3D game. After all, many movie-to-video game adaptations tend to be awful and rushed. Judging from the trailer however, The Mummy Demastered looks a lot more fun than watching the movie. Here are the system requirements so you can run it on a PC.

Minimum System Requirements

• OS: Windows 7 SP1 or later
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad @2.33 GHz or equivalent
• Memory: 4 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 or ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series or higher
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 500 MB available space

Recommended System Requirements

• OS: Windows®8 or Windows®10
• Processor: AMD Phenom(TM) II X6 1035T Processor @ 2.6GHz / Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.4GHz or higher
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or higher
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 600 MB available space

As expected, users don’t need much to run the game on the PC. It is also going to be available for the Nintendo Switch for those who prefer to take the game with them. Check out a preview of the gameplay from the teaser trailer below.
