Total War: Warhammer delayed until May, Specs released

Well, it’s a good news/bad news type thing for Total War: Warhammer. They released the specs that you’ll need to play, and play comfortably, but gave it a new release date as well.First off, let’s get the bad medicine out of the way, the game was due to release April 28th, it is now scheduled for the end of may (the 24th to be exact). It’s not a huge delay, and we see what happens when companies attempt to cut corners in an attempt to meet an arbitrary release date (Street Fighter V, lookin straight at you there!).

Here’s the spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down (who even remembers that movie?)
