Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War serves as a sequel to 2014's Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Like its predecessor, it makes use of Monolith Productions' innovative Nemesis system and places a heavy emphasis on combat and exploration. Players once again take on the role of Talion and are tasked with forging a new Ring of Power so that they can assemble an army and take down Sauron and his forces.
