Total War Warhammer 2 System Requirements and graphical features announced

With the release of Total War: Warhammer II in just over a month on September 28, SEGA and Creative Assembly have revealed the full System Requirements for the game. They've been rather helpfully divided into Minimum, Recommended and Ultra 60+ FPS system specs. Full details are below. They also revealed that Total War Warhammer 2 is the most pre-ordered Total War game in history, so they're clearly doing something right!
