Creative Assembly has pushed back the release date for its Total War: Warhammer title by a month, to May 24, with a very simple reason give. "We don’t want to rush it." With the game being a pretty sizable departure for the series, and possibly the largest due to the Warhammer license, any extra time needed to squash bugs and improve performance is more than welcome. And speaking of performance, the PC specs for the game have been revealed, including what it will take to run the game at 1080p 60fps.

Total War: Warhammer is shaping up to be one of the most interesting games in the series since the release of Rome II, and we can't wait to get our hands on it. Here's a recent video showcasing the Dwarf campaign.
