Continuing the PC system requirements trend for today, Warner Bros. Entertainment has officially confirmed just what specs you'll be needing to run their upcoming RPG Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and it doesn't seem light on the power budget.

According to the Steam page, PC gamers will need at least a quad-core CPU, 4GB of RAM and 25GB of free HDD. Moreover, the game will only support DX11 and 64bit OS systems, similar to Ubisoft's Watch Dogs PC specs.

Besides the system requirements, the Steam page also tells us that we can expect the PC version to appear on October 8th, though Warner Bros. hasn't yet said whether this is the official date or just a placement.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be available on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Check out the most recent story trailer below for a glimpse into the game, and just why you may be needing an upgrade sooner rather than later.
