While many of us are looking forward to the console release there are those who still await the arrival of the PC version of new upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity.

So now Ubisoft has officially released the PC requirements and boy they're demanding!

We know right? Now keep mind that Assassin's Creed Unity is the first full next-gen title in the series so an up in all departments is expected. But does this title seriously require such high requirements to run on PC? 

The worry is that Ubisoft isn't exactly well praised for their PC ports. They're usually overally demanding and lacking in optimisations take the PC release of Watch Dogs for example. 

So let's just hope that Ubisoft have made the necessary advancements in the PC release to justify the purchase or for some a reason to upgrade their PC.

Assassin's Creed Unity launches November 13th.
