The next big open-world survival is upon us, at least in early access form. Nightingale boldly promises to transport you from realm to realm in a fantasy setting complete with the most colorful (and often sinister) flora and fauna. You’ll be bludgeoning, slashing, and shooting your way through packs of creatures and enemies in order to continue to draw breath. But there’s much more to Nightingale than combat in the fae realms. Building an estate, crafting, and cooking are all part of the survival experience.

Already, Nightingale boasts the use of Unreal Engine 5 which boldly moves this title into the realm of big current-gen survival genre contenders. With that said, you’re able to expect a solid and beautiful graphical presentation of this magical world should your hardware be up to the task. Make no mistake. Nightingale is, indeed, a vibrant, complex, and dynamic virtual world with heavy elements of procedural generation that will ultimately prove to be demanding of any rig.

System Requirements

How much System Storage is needed?

For a survival game, Nightingale is no slouch. You’re going to need a sizable chunk of SSD capacity -70 GBto be exact. While it may not be as significant of hit to your storage space like the 115+ GB of a game like Starfield, 70 GB is rather large for titles within the survival genre. With Palworld, being the most recent survival hit by comparison, that early access title only required 40 GB. So maybe do some Spring cleaning and purge anything you’re done with should you find yourself lacking the necessary 70 GB.
