Warhammer® 40,000®: Dawn of War II®, Chaos Rising and Retribution for Mac and Linux – system requirements revealed

These classic games arrive fresh as daisies, and undemanding daisies at that. Pretty much any Mac or Linux rig under 5 years old should be fine, but as ever Space Marines; make sure you read the small print.

Minimum requirements for Mac call for a 1.8 GHz processor with 4GB RAM and a graphics card with 512MB, but we recommend a 2.4 GHz processor and 8GB RAM with a 1GB graphics memory.

On Linux you'll need a 64-bit 2.0 GHz processor with 4GB RAM. The minimum graphics card requirement is a 1GB NVIDIA 6xx series, a 1GB AMD 6xxx series or an Intel Iris Pro series card, but to see these three games at their best you’ll need a 2GB NVIDIA 7xx series, a 2GB AMD R9 series, or better.

NVIDIA cards require driver version 367.35 (tested). AMD and Intel GPUs require MESA 11.2 (tested).

Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising and Retribution are all coming to Mac and Linux on September 29th. Rally to the minisite for the system requirements in full, along with a gallery of screenshots and videos.

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.
