VIDEO: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor has a release date

MCV Staff 3rd April 2014 Business News

Warner Bros has revealed the release date for upcoming Lord of the Rings title Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

The PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC title will arrive on October 7th.

The game, which has an unusually supernatural thrust for a Tolkien title, is clearly inspired by the Assassin’s Creed formula but brings plenty of new ideas to the table.

The most notable is probably the mechanic that sees enemy survivors from past encounters persist in the game world and go on to gain influence and progress through the ranks of Mordor, referencing previous battles when they are again confronted later down the line.

Here’s a new video marking the news:

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
