Let's find out

As 2016 is looming in front of us, a lot of upcoming games stand out for me, but so far my top two are Mirror's Edge Catalyst, and Dark Souls III. The latter might even be the last Souls game for a while, so I'm looking forward to going in completely blind with my traditional full solo first run.

I tend to play it on consoles first, then move to PC, but you PC-only folks can take a look at the newly minted requirements and mull on them for the next four months. As revealed by Steam, the new minimum and recommended specs are up. For reference, they're roughly the same as the Scholar of the First Sin specs, but the minimum RAM has doubled, as well as the required storage space. The graphics card and processor requirements are the exact same.
