Back of the Box

In Sword of the Stars 2, gamers will be reaquainted with the original six races from Swords of the Stars I and its expansions as well as reveal the dark secret of the original series, the Suul’ka – an ancient race that is responsible for tampering with the Liir, Zuul, and other races in the SotS universe!
Not limited to another entire new race and their unique drive technology, SotS2 will be a major step forward in the SotS approach to 4X gameplay, taking the easy-to-learn-hard-to-master philosophy set out in SotS1 and following that path to a new standard in space strategy games.

Sword of The Stars 2 System Requirements [pc]

We met with Kerberus Developer, Chris Stewart, at E3 and he told us a few interersting things about the upcoming Sci-fi Strategy Sword of The Stars 2. I believe Squee is putting together our meeting with Chris as I speak so you will get to see some of those points very shortly.

But what I am interested in during this news piece is the SotS2 system requirements. We pressed Chris for some details during the show but the Stars 2 requirements were still undecided by that point. What we did know was that due to game engine development we are looking at Direct X 10 machines at a minimum. However, we now have the requirements in hand and there are a couple of hefty surprises.

We are excited! This is the first game to just come out and recommend 6GB RAM. We will be very interested to see if this is actually needed, so as always give us your feedback on all the requirements posted here.

We will be using the recommended system requirements for Sword of the Stars 2 Lords of Winter in our requirements tool intitially until we get some feedback, which will come from our own tests when the game goes live and info from you guys and your views on the 6GB RAM requirement.
