Dishonored system requirements revealed

GamesCom 2012: Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Studios have revealed the minimum and recommended PC specifications for upcoming immersive sim Dishonored.

The game, which is set in a fantasy world that fuses magic and science, was our favourite game of the show last year - and this year we'll be going hands-on with it too.

Dishonored is due for release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year - and like most multiplatform titles doesn't seem to require any excessive hardware. The game is optimised for 64-Bit and Multicore systems, however.

Processor: 3.0 GHz dual core or better
Memory: 4 GB system RAM
Hard Disk Space: 9 GB
