Do your homework! Check the requirements for Life is Strange: Before the Storm on macOS and Linux

The good news is that while Before the Storm is a game that demands all your attention, it lets your computer off pretty lightly and will run on almost any modern machine.

macOS:

To play Before the Storm on macOS, you will need a 2.0GHz Intel Core i5 processor running macOS 10.13.6, 8GB of RAM and a 1GB Nvidia 650M, 2GB AMD Radeon M290, Intel Iris 5100 graphics card or better. The game is supported on all these Macs:

  • All Mac Minis since Late 2014
  • All 13" MacBook Pros released since 2013
  • All 15" MacBook Pros released since Mid 2012 with a 1GB graphics card or better
    • Mid 2015 models with an AMD 370X are not supported
  • All 21.5" iMacs released since Late 2013
  • All 27" iMacs released since Late 2013
    • Late 2012 models with Nvidia 675 or Nvidia 680 graphics are also supported
  • All 27" iMac Pros released since Late 2017
  • All Mac Pros released since Late 2013

The Macs listed below are also capable of running the game but do not consistently meet the high standards required for official support. This means they can run the game, but may not get the best out of it in terms of performance, graphics and stability:

  • All Mac Minis since Late 2012
  • All MacBooks released since Early 2015
  • All MacBook Airs released since Mid 2012
  • All 13" MacBook Pros released since Mid 2012
  • All 21.5" iMacs released since Early 2013

Linux:

To play Before the Storm on Linux, you will need a 2.9GHz Intel Core i3-4130T running Ubunto 18.04, 4GB of RAM and a 2GB Nvidia GTX 670 or 2GB AMD R9 270 graphics card or better.

For best performance we recommend an 3.2GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 4GB Nvidia GTX 970 or 4GB AMD RX 470.

Play hooky on the minisite to grab Before the Storm screenshots and character bios then pre-order the game from the Feral Store

Hotseats & Halberds Update for Total War: MEDIEVAL II Out Now!

EMPIRE may be the most recent entry in the Total War series to have landed on mobile, but that doesn’t mean Total War: MEDIEVAL II should be forgotten. On the contrary, Feral’s armourers have been toiling at the forge, hammering out a comprehensive patch, and today we’re excited to release the Hotseats & Halberds Update!

On the Hotseat side of today’s patch, the asynchronous multiplayer of desktop Kingdoms makes a triumphant return in a new and improved form. Owners of Kingdoms on mobile can now play hotseat mode on the Kingdoms campaigns, and the Grand Campaign of the base game for the very first time!

And, it’s not just Halberds that are feeling the love… The other half of the update introduces a massive assortment of balance updates to different units — most notably, a new Cohesion mechanic ensuring that Pikemen formations perform more reliably.

A full breakdown of the Hotseats & Halberds can be found on our blog, as well as a mammoth list of all the changes. But, if you’ve already read enough, charge to the app store of your choice and update today!

The Hotseats & Halberds Update — Coming Soon to Total War: MEDIEVAL II on iOS & Android

The next update to Total War: MEDIEVAL II is right around the corner, and it’s a big one!

The Hotseats & Halberds Update will be dropping on the 19th of June and we’ll be covering all the content in not one, but two blog posts (did we mention it was a big one?).

The update’s name hides some pretty large clues as to its content, so head to our social channels to share your speculation, and keep your eyes on our news feed where we’ll be spilling the beans in the coming days.
