Total War: Warhammer delayed to May; PC requirements revealed

Creative Assembly has announced that Total War: Warhammer will be arriving on 24 May, instead of the previous release window of April. The postponement is since the developers “don’t want to rush this”, and to also allow “reviewers to have enough time to play it thoroughly before launch”. Additionally, the PC requirements for the strategy title have also been unleashed, so this should give you ample time to up your rig if you want to run it at 60fps in all its visual splendor.
