Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be launched on September 30 on the PC, the Xbox One from Microsoft and the PlayStation 4 from Sony.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the title have been delayed to November 18.
A focus on the Nemesis system
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor takes gamers to the period between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and allows them to become Talion, a ranger killed by Sauron’s forces who is brought back to life and is determined to get revenge and make sure that all those who harmed his family are defeated.
The focus of the gameplay is the Nemesis system, which allows certain characters to evolve based on their interactions with the player character and creates new situations based on how the gamer decides to act.
The Season Pass for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be launched starting November and some of the content will be offered in early 2015.
The game also has a special Palantir app, which is used to offer gamers more info about the world they are exploring and to allow fans to highlight the best moments of the title.
