We’ll have more updates for you in the future. A general rule of thumb at the moment is that if your PC is over 5 years old, you’ll likely be unable to run Hyenas.” The long-anticipated shooter project from Creative Assembly was announced in June, when the Sega studio described it as a “multiplayer, multi-team robbery game”. It sees five teams of three battle AI and each other to steal loot from vast spaceships with zero-g sections.
