1C Entertainment has revealed the system requirements needed to run King's Bounty 2, which is happily on track for its August 24th release date—so if you're interested, and missing any vital components, there's the deadline for your shopping list.

Tom Sykes checked out a preview the other week, and found the strategy-slash-RPG to be an odd one: "I was left scratching my head at what I made of its peculiar genre collision." Still, he said that if you looked at the game from the angle of an ambitious reworking of the core King's Bounty concept, there was more to be hopeful about.

Can you be hopeful about whether your computer can run it, though? Maybe!
