Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions of the upcoming action adventure video game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be delayed to November this year.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of developer Monolith's video game will now come out on November 18 in North America and November 21 in the United Kingdom.

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor remain unaffected, and will be released as previously announced, on October 3 in the UK and September 30 in North America.

The PC release date has also received a bump, with the video game now set for release on September 30 in both Europe and North America.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor follows the story of a fallen ranger, Talion, who is revived by a wraith and imbued with great power, and who must exact his vengeance on those who murdered his family.

The wraith has an axe to grind with Sauron, so Talion will also serve his purposes in the process of getting his revenge.

The gameplay is somewhat similar to the flow of the Assassin's Creed series, while also introducing a lot of novel ideas, and judging from the reveals so far, it's going to be a pretty fun and interesting game.
