Total War: Three Kingdoms System Requirements Revealed

Total War: Three Kingdoms

The Total War series has provided fans of RTS (real time strategy) one of the few great options still being released for PC. While for some it is perhaps a little more difficult or involved than you may like, for others it provides a remarkable level of tactics and depth.

The next game is set to focus on the highly-popular ‘Three Kingdoms’ period in Chinese history. If you want to know what this is, see Dynasty Warriors.

If you are looking forward to this release, then we have some (possibly) good news! In a report via TechPowerUp, the official system requirements have been revealed for the game.

What Do We Think?

While the minimum specifications are rather benign, we must admit that the ‘recommended’ are a little eye-watering. Particularly the 60FPS settings which (although set to ultra) still require a pretty hefty processor and graphics card. Would 4K 60FPS for this game be impossible? – It seems likely.

Following a prior delay, Total War: Three Kingdoms will release for the PC on May 23rd.
