Are the system requirements going to be similar to the first game?

I'll legitimately preorder if I know that I can run this game.

Well, it uses the same engine.

Also it will be on the consoles.

I'd say if you have some headroom when running KCD, you will probably be able to run KCD2.

But who knows, optimization is something Devs don't seem to do anymore.

if you have at least 16 gb vram and at least and 30 series card it probably meets recommended settings. 20 series probably meets the minimum requirements

Yeah tbh I would rather they just spent more time making the character models and animations look good and chill out with all the raytracing stuff.

I agree. Raytracing is nice, but it is totally unnecessary l, and drives up specifications so much. I'd rather Devs spend time optimizing rather than making games look 1% better for 20% performance impact and using DLSS as a crutch to get playable framerates.

And, personally, I think games have been looking good enough for like 5 years now. I just want to have an immersive experience.

I know Specs haven’t been released yet so understand this will be an educated guess but could somebody give me an idea as to what I can expect with following as I’ve just returned to PC gaming and not clued up yet:

Got an ASUS ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop -
i7-13650HX Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB
RAM: 16 GB DDR5

I can run KCD 1 on very high settings, with shadows set to High and no VSync (due to the cutscenes running at like 10 FPS with it on), at a constant 60 FPS (frame rate capped).

I can also run games like RDR 2 mainly on ultra, with certain setting like water physics on medium, and with DLSS quality between 60-90 FPS.

I run KCD I on a 1060 6GB 16 GB RAM AMD Ryzen 3 2200G. I do run OC'd a bit but it runs no problem. I am sure KCD II will struggle on that system, but I have a laptop with a 3060 and 16 GB RAM that I am sure will run it fine.
