Assassin's Creed Origins PC Specs and Requirements Revealed

Assassin's Creed Origins is on its way and as the release date edges closer, the company behind the next step for the franchise just released the PC specs and system requirements for the upcoming title. Ubisoft has made it very clear that they were working hard to optimize Origins in order to make it more accessible for players across the board and that promise proved true with the released list.

Jose Araiza, the coordinating producer for Origins had this to say:

"The PC version was developed in parallel with all the other versions by the main team in Montreal, in collaboration with our PC-dedicated team in Ubisoft Kiev. This approach was adopted while the game features were being designed, making PC and mouse-and-keyboard controls a full part of the equation from the get-go."

As for why the spec list is a lot lower than many were anticipating, Araiza mentioned that they did this specifically so that the game was more accessible. As far as the requirements go:
