Total War: Warhammer Delayed, PC Specs Unveiled

The Warhammer and Total War crossover game, Total War: WARHAMMER is being delayed. Apparently, in an effort to give reviewers time to play it all, the game is being pushed back to the 24th May, a month later than expected. We appreciate this extra time here at GameGrin, but we're sure that a few fans will be a bit disappointed to hear that they are now waiting for us to finish before they can play. To make it clear, we didn't ask for any extra time so please don't be mad at us!

“This could be the best Total War game we’ve ever made. We don’t want to rush it.” said Mike Simpson, Creative Director for Total War, “It’s an enormous game and we also want to make absolutely sure reviewers have enough time to play it thoroughly before launch.”

“Many thanks to the huge number of people who have pre-ordered and are eagerly awaiting release day. We’re pulling out all the stops for you.”

Alongside the revelation of the new release date, Sega also let us know the minimum, required and, quite frankly eye-watering, 60FPS+ specifications. The 60FPS+ listing is something we haven't seen before and it marks the requirements your computer will need to meet in order to guarantee a perfect 60FPS framerate at the highest graphical settings. Perfect for those who demand the best from their machines.
