Troy baker will again take on the role of Talion in the upcoming Shadow of War, and has been appointed as the game’s Performance Capture Director.

　　Baker, who already portrayed Talion in Shadow of Mordor, will further discuss his involvement in the upcoming Middle-Earth sequel in WB Games Live during this year’s E3 event on June 14 at 21:10 BST.

　　“His first-hand experience as an actor is now being utilized with other characters, helping to ensure that each performance fits cohesively within the original narrative in Middle-earth: Shadow of War”, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's press release reads.

　　Initially slated for a release this August, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War was delayed by two months last week.

　　"Middle-earth: Shadow of War expands gameplay in every dimension, including the massive open world, the story, the RPG systems, and personal player stories of the Nemesis System," the game's community manager posted on the game's official forum.

　　"As with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Monolith is committed to delivering the highest quality experience. In order to do this, we have made the difficult decision to move our launch date to ensure that Middle-earth: Shadow of War will deliver on that promise."

　　Middle-earth: Shadow of War will now be available for Xbox One, Project Scorpio, Windows 10 PC (Windows Store and Steam), PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro beginning the 10th of October.
