"Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" has finally been confirmed and it has an awesome trailer, following an early leak. Warner Bros. officially announced the follow-up to the 2014 "Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor" with a new CG video.
Similarly, with the first game, the sequel is yet again developed by Monolith Productions. And they are promising a "richer, more personal, and expansion world" for the new game. Also, players can expect new heroes and of course villains including "iconic locations, original enemy types, even more personalities, and a new cast of characters with untold stories."
Plot. The events of the game are set between "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" and will pick up where "Shadow of Mordor" left. Talion and Celebrimbor return and must "go behind enemy lines to forge an army and turn all of Mordor against the Dark Lord Sauron."
They will be facing enemies, some of which were shown in the newly released trailer for "Middle-Earth: Shadow of War." Among them are Balrog, Nazgûl, and a vast army of orcs.
