Middle-earth: Shadow of War is HERE!

The long wait is now over! Talion is back and ready for action!

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is now out. The game is available for all 3 major platforms – Steam on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The developers from Monolith have been feeding us a lot of information prior to the release of the game. Thanks to that we know a lot of details now that will help us get the smoothest and most enjoyable experience possible.

To help you better understand the game, its mechanics and characters, I have a selection or GUIDES and TUTORIALS. Here are a few highlights of the most important and popular ones:

Talion is gathering an army of orcs to defeat Sauron once and for all. Shadow of War picks up right where Shadow of Mordor ended. The game the narrative, based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium with events occurring between those of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Like its predecessor, the game also takes heavy inspiration from director Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings film adaptations. The player continues the story of the ranger Talion who shares his body with the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, as they use one of the Rings of Power to amass an army to fight against Sauron and his Nazgûl forces. The game builds upon the Nemesis system introduced in Shadow of Mordor, allowing Talion to gain Followers from several races of Middle-earth including Uruk-Hai and Olog-hai and plan out complex strategies using these to complete missions.

Today we also got a brand new Launch Trailer, which you can see below. Granted, I personally kind of disliked the choice of music background, but the clip was inspiring enough. I had my Shadow of War copy pre-ordered about a month ago, so today I am ready to jump back into Mordor and continue the adventures of the Bright Lord. Are you?
