Middle-earth: Shadow of War Reveals First Gameplay Video

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today revealed the first gameplay footage of Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

This Gameplay Walkthrough introduces viewers to the next generation of the Nemesis System with the addition of Nemesis Fortresses, where players must utilize different strategies to conquer dynamic strongholds and forge their personalized Orc army. In this video, Talion and Celebrimbor, who return as the Bright Lord, must lead a fortress assault on the mountain valley of Seregost and take it from one of Sauron’s Overlords. To succeed, they will use the power of the New Ring to recruit Followers during enemy encounters — a new mechanic allowing gamers to establish entirely new stories of loyalty, betrayal and revenge.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War will be available for Xbox One, Project Scorpio, Windows 10 PC (Windows Store and Steam), PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro beginning August 22nd.
