Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Release Date Moved Up

While initially Warner Bros. planned to release Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor on October 7th, they’ve decided to move the release date to an earlier October 3rd date. I guess all the RPG releases for October are getting a bit more spaced out:

Middle-earthTM: Shadow of MordorTM Announces Earlier Release Date

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is pleased to announce that the highly anticipated action game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, will be available in the UK on 3rd October 2014 for PlayStationâ„¢ 4, Xbox One, PlayStationâ„¢ 3 Xbox 360 and PC.

Based on hearing fans’ excitement over the latest chronicle in Middle-earth, WBIE will release the action game earlier than originally planned at all participating retailers. In the game, players will experience the depth of the Nemesis System, where every enemy is unique, differentiated by their appearance, personality, strengths and weaknesses. These enemies are shaped by their encounters with the player to create personal archenemies who are unique to every gameplay session.

Middle-earthâ„¢: Shadow of Mordorâ„¢ delivers a vibrant game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron’s return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player’s actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion’s personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.
