Manhunt 2 PC confirmed by D2D, coming November 6th

October 31st, 2009

While Rockstar has yet to say anything officially about Manhunt 2's PC version, over the year we've been finding numerous hints towards a PC version. Today, Direct2Drive has started listing a pre-order for the PC version of Manhunt 2 for $29.99. This version is the AO rated uncut version that Rockstar originally tried to put out back in 2007 but was blocked due to console manufactures not allowing AO games on their systems. While the listing doesn't go into details about the content, it does say the PC version of the game supports 3D monitors. The listing also mentions how much space the game takes up, 3.66 GB and the system requirements.

Operating System: Windows XP (Home and Professional), SP1 or higher plus DirectX 9.0c / Windows Vista
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 (1.7+ GHz), AMD Athlon 1800+
Memory: 512MB XP / 1GB Vista, 3.8GB Hard Drive Space
Video Card: DirectX 9.0c Shader 2.0 Supported, 128 MB, Nvidia 6200 or Better, ATI Radeon x300 or Better
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0 Compliant
Peripherals: Keyboard and Mouse Required

Manhunt 2 for PC releases November 6th. Wether or not the game will come to Steam or limited retail (most stores won't carry AO games) is unknown at the time. We've sent an email to Rockstar asking for more details.
