Dishonored 2 releases next week, and if you want to run it on PC at its recommended settings, you'll need to have a pretty decent rig. Bethesda announced that the stealth game has gone gold, alongside revealing its system requirements and advanced settings on its website today.

While you don't need that impressive of a PC to run it at the minimum settings, the recommended ones ask for an Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM, and a GTX 1060 with 6 GB of VRAM. You can take a look at the full requirements at the bottom of this article.
