PC Specs for Metro: Last Light Released

The Metro franchise may focus on a ravaged, post-apocalyptic world, but that doesn’t mean the adventure of Artyom can’t have a few sparks of beauty. 2033 was a visual powerhouse for the PC back in 2010, and the recently released specs for this year’s Last Light hint at what should be another stunning aesthetic treat.

Publisher Deep Silver and developer 4A Games have just announced the PC specs for the game, which recommend that players are packing a high-end graphics card when attempting to boot the game up. The Nvidia Titan is said to allow the game to display its full graphical muscle.
