Our first look at Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was back in January of this year and we've been patiently waiting for more updates. This week we were treated to a brand new trailer for the game, which also announced its release date! Get ready to play this original new title on October 7, 2014.

The newest trailer from this week gives us some backstory on the game's main character, Tallion. We learn that his story is incredibly sad, haunted and bloody - all the more reason to get your hands on the game!

Here is a synopsis for this new game thanks to Gamma Squad:

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has you playing Tallion, a ranger in an alternate version of LOTR continuity. Taking place between The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings, Tallion and his family get caught in the crossfire when Sauron throws his comeback tour. Unlike most of the race of Men, though, Tallion is immediately revived as a half-man, half-Wraith for reasons the game hasn't clarified yet. Hugely ticked off, for obvious reasons, Tallion plans to kill his way through the orcs.

This new title could easily become the best video game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books, because this it tells a brand new, original story about this character with some cool powers.
