Total War Warhammer Halts Its Approach

Luke HendersonCreative Assembly, PC, Total War, Warhammer, segaComment

In order to give the game the polish that it deserves, both for the fans and from that of the creators, Sega and Creative Assembly have announced that Total War Warhammer will be delayed, from its initial April release to the new day of May 24th, so about a month.

“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.”

But, while the delay will be upsetting to those who have been awaiting its release, there is some more news announced today, with the release of the specs needed to run the game, the specs needed for it to look its best and even an uncapped frame version.
