Total War: Rome Remastered system requirements are here

Total War: Rome Remastered is almost upon us, and if you fancy it, you can preload it on Steam right now. Helmed by Feral Interactive, the 4K makeover adds 16 new playable factions, bringing a 17-year-old classic into the modern age.

Sega and Creative Assembly have published an FAQ on the release, detailing everything you’ll get if you buy it and posting a new set of system requirements that are slightly less demanding than a previously published version. When you buy the game on Steam you’ll also get the Enhanced Graphics Pack, which will “upgrade textures on the campaign map and in battles.”

Also, for those who don’t already have it and want to see how things looked back in 2004, you’ll get the original Rome: Total War thrown in too. Oh, and if you already own the original on Steam, you’ll get the remaster for 50 percent off. But if you own it on disc, you’re out of luck.

Here are the system requirements, straight from the FAQ:
