WB Games Officially Announces Middle Earth: Shadow of War

Following yesterday’s Target leak, WB Games has officially announced Middle Earth: Shadow of War, confirming that the new title will be released on Steam and the Windows Store on August 22/25 (US and European dates). Players who pick up the open world action game on the Windows 10 Store will also be able to play it on their Xbox One console, as it’s an Xbox Play Anywhere title.

In Middle Earth: Shadow of War, players wield a new Ring of Power and confront the deadliest of enemies, including Sauron and his Nazgul, in a monumental battle for Middle Earth. The open-world action-adventure game is brought to life through the expansion of the award-winning Nemesis System. The robust personalization from the first game is now applied to the entire world where the environments and characters are all shaped by player actions and decisions, creating a personal world unique to every gameplay experience.

The innovative Nemesis System created unique personal stories through procedurally-generated enemies who remember every encounter and are differentiated by their personality, strengths and weaknesses. Middle Earth: Shadow of War expands this innovation with the introduction of Followers who bring about entirely new stories of loyalty, betrayal and revenge. The Nemesis System is also expanded to create a unique personal world through Nemesis Fortresses, which allows players to utilize different strategies to conquer dynamic strongholds and create personalized worlds with their unique Orc army.
