Middle-earth: Shadow Of War Delayed To October
The sequel to the acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was originally scheduled to release this summer, on August 22. However, an announcement on the official site breaks some potentially disappointing news to fans: The wait is going to be a bit longer.
Now slated for October 10, no specific reason was given for Middle-earth: Shadow of War's delay, apart from developer Monolith's desire to deliver the "highest quality experience."

Our Take
As with any delay, having to wait to play a game you're excited about is a bummer. However, more time usually results in a better finished product. So even though this is disappointing in some respects, I can't say it's bad news.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
