Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ continues the
original narrative of Middle-earth™:
Shadow of Mordor™, winner of more than 50 industry awards, with the
return of Talion and Celebrimbor, known as the Bright Lord, who must forge a
new Ring of Power and confront the deadliest of enemies, including Sauron and
his Nazgûl, in a monumental battle for Middle-earth™. This open world action
role-playing game (RPG) is fueled by the Nemesis System, which now introduces
Orc Followers who bring about entirely new stories
of loyalty, betrayal and revenge, as well as the addition of massive Nemesis
Fortresses, which require different strategies to conquer dynamic strongholds
and create personalised worlds with more choices and opportunities than ever
before.
