'Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor' Gameplay, Release Date, Trailer SPOILERS [VIDEO] Watch 25 Minutes Of In-Game Action - Walkthrough Confirms Andy Serkis' Gollum in 2014 Title

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has a release date set for October 2014, meaning we're so close to getting a chance at playing the highly anticipated title. Before that, however, this week we were treated to the next best thing: 25 minutes of gameplay walkthrough demo playing from Pax! In this video, we learn about the "Nemesis" system that allows enemies to gain experience and level up throughout the game, too!

This footage comes from YouTube channel The Media Cows, providing an amazing look at the upcoming title.

"The game takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings, as written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The family of Talion, a ranger of Gondor responsible for guarding the Black Gate of Mordor, is killed by Sauron's armies, but Talion (voiced and motion captured by Troy Baker) is revived with 'wraith-like abilities' and heads into Mordor to exact his revenge. Mordor is not yet a barren wasteland in this story," the lucky gamers explained, describing the game.

Basically the commentary on the video explains that fans of the books and even the movies based on Tolkien's writing will absolutely love this game. It's bloody, cinematic, and incredibly layered. We definitely look forward to this one, but this 25-minute video will surely keep us happy until the release date hits!
