Much like Middle Earth Shadow Of Mordor, Shadow Of War doesn’t try too hard to fit into Tolkien’s version of the Middle Earth lore. And that comes with its benefits and drawbacks. However, despite the inconsistent narrative, the core gameplay and the systems revolving around it are really strong, and the overall scope of the game is much larger than the predecessor. Minutes into the game you are thrown back into the shoes of Talion and Celebrimbor, intent on forging a new ring. Things go wrong almost immediately afterwards, and you spend the rest of Shadow of War trying to build up an army, and protect mankind against from the evil forces of Sauron and his minions. I would highly recommend not taking the main plot with much seriousness or try to hold it up against the canon lore. The game ...
Middle-earth: Shadow of War New Feral Tribe Video Revealed Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today released a new video for Middle-earth: Shadow of War, showcasing the Feral tribe, a faction of Orcs who revere the fearsome beasts of Mordor, feeding on the strength of these vicious creatures as inspiration for their own acts of savagery. In Shadow of War, Orcs now belong to tribes, which extend their influence stemming from the Overlords ruling the mighty fortresses throughout the open world, providing a rich ecosystem of missions, exploration and a dynamic Orc society with diverse Orc cultures, all brought to life through the expanded Nemesis System. Feral Orcs live among the graugs, caragors, drakes and other monsters when they can, while adorning their clothing and armor with trophi...

Forthog Orc Slayer – A tribute to late executive producer Mike “Forthog” Forgey A legend among the Orcs of Mordor, Forthog Orcslayer is an unstoppable warrior who saves Mordor’s mightiest heroes at their moment of greatest need. Mike “Forthog” Forgey was our Executive Producer and great friend here at Monolith. He was always ready to leap into the fray and save the game whenever and wherever he was most needed. We lost Mike to cancer during the development of Shadow of War, and we want to remember and honor him with a little bit of immortality in Mordor. The legendary Forthog Orcslayer is our way to continue having Mike leap into battle and save us when we’re down. We hope that you will share in the experience of being saved by the legendary Forthog Orcslayer as you enter...
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced the Nemesis Forge, a new update for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor that will allow a player to bring their top Nemesis and Follower from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to Middle-earth: Shadow of War when it releases on October 10, 2017. In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, players created countless personal stories of revenge through the unique enemies and allies generated by the Nemesis System. With the Nemesis Forge, these stories continue in Middle-earth: Shadow of War by importing a returning player’s arch Nemesis from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, while also identifying a player’s most loyal Orc follower, who can help fight and defend against Sauron’s forces.

The official gameplay video for Warner Bros and Monolith’s upcoming title Shadow of War is supposed to be released on 8th March. Building up to the hype, the publisher has released a short ( I mean, really really short) teaser that offers a glimpse of what we can expect from the game. The teaser doesn’t reveal much (You don’t say , huh) but it does have something really cool. Talion can be seen riding a winged beast majestically over the battlefield, possibly a drake, which gives me hope that we might actually get to do that in the game. The five second clip closes with the ranger raising his sword in the air as an army of Orcs can be seen behind him. Shadow of War is the sequel to 2014’s Shadow of Middle Earth, and was announced last week following a leak. It is ...
Warner Bros. recently settled the charges filed by FTC for allegedly deceiving the customers during a marketing campaign for Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, by not disclosing the fact that they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to famous YouTubers, including PewDiePie to post positive gameplay footage of the game on YouTube and other social media. Even though the videos were sponsored, Warner Bros. didn’t ask the influencers in question to disclose that information clearly, as required by the FTC’s endorsement guidelines. In fact, they told them to put disclosures in the video description box, which meant that most of them wouldn’t be seen at all without clicking the “show more” button. The result, according to the complaint, is that “Warner Bros., through its marketi...
In case you were wondering, billions of virtual Uruks have been slayed to death in the Lord of The Rings based game Shadow of Mordor by its players. If you must know it is 5.65 billion to be precise. Warner Bros. Interactive come out with this infographic featuring the actions of all players across PC, Xbox One and PS4. The 5.65 billion Uruk kills include only those by players; fellow Uruks are responsible for another 1.3 billion kills, 2.8 million of which were bodyguards betraying their Warchief. About more than 72 million players were victims of Uruks. A player death isn’t much of a deal, as in there in no penalty as such but there is a change in the mechanics of the game’s Nemesis system, causing Uruks to be promoted and become more powerful. This results in more memorable...
