WBIE announces a new October 2nd release date for the Windows edition of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, which is five days earlier than the previous October 7th release date for the Tolkien-inspired third-person action game. Having heard the clamor from fans, they've pushed everything forward 120 hours to avoid anyone starving while waiting on line for this:

Based on hearing fans’ excitement over the latest chronicle in Middle-earth, WBIE will release the action game earlier than originally planned at all participating retailers. In the game, players will experience the depth of the Nemesis System, where every enemy is unique, differentiated by their appearance, personality, strengths and weaknesses. These enemies are shaped by their encounters with the player to create personal archenemies who are unique to every gameplay session.
