Up till now, Dishonored 2 has showcased everything from the game’s crafty and cunning escapes all the way to how its map ‘Karnaca’ is created.

Though question remains: can your PC run it? Publisher Bethesda has officially revealed both the minimum and recommended system settings required to run Dishonored 2, and has also gone further by listing all ofthe advanced settings which can be toggled on and off as per your discretion.
