Previously set for an August 22 release date, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Productions have announced the upcoming Middle-earth: Shadow of War has been delayed. The sequel to the critically-acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will now arrive on October 10, 2017. In a statement, the developers wrote:
“We understand that it might be disappointing to have to wait a little longer for the release and are sorry for the delay, but we are working hard to make an amazing game. We’re excited to show more at E3.”
Developed by Monolith Productions, Middle-earth: Shadow of War features an original story with the return of Talion and Celebrimbor, who must go behind enemy lines to forge an army and turn all of Mordor against the Dark Lord, Sauron.
In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, players wield a new Ring of Power and confront the deadliest of enemies, including Sauron and his Nazgul, in a monumental battle for Middle-earth. The open-world action-adventure game is brought to life through the expansion of the award-winning Nemesis System. The robust personalization from the first game is now applied to the entire world where the environments and characters are all shaped by player actions and decisions, creating a personal world unique to every gameplay experience.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War will be available for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 upon release.
