Shadow of Mordor is adding some new epic runes and an alternate skin that lets you dress up as Sauron's Black Hand, publisher Warner Bros. announced today.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be out a bit earlier than expected—the upcoming action game just got bumped up a week to September 30 (PS4, PS3, 360, Xbox One) and October 2 (PC). Between this, Dragon Age, and Battlefield, it's like everyone's trying to avoid October!
