A couple of years back a new game set in the same world as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings was released titled Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Now a sequel has been announced titled Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and a trailer for the game has been released. A release date has also been revealed, and it’s coming sooner than you might think. You can check out the trailer below, along with more info.

Today marks the release of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the latest video game set in the same world as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

As always, a launch trailer for the game has been released to get you excited to finally play it. And if you’re still not sure if you want to play it yet, there’s also a video presenting all you need to know about the game.

You can watch both of the videos below.

The upcoming Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor from Monolith Productions and WB Games is one of the most anticipated video games being released soon, set in the same world as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (set between the two stories, as a matter of fact).

A new live-action short film has been made based on the game, which follow a part-wraith ranger named Talion seeking revenge for the murder of his family. The film sees a group of orcs crossing paths with the game’s protagonist, and includes one of the big features you’ll be able to use in playing: the ability to take control of an enemy and have them do your bidding.

Be sure to continue below to watch the Shadow of Mordor live-action short as well as a trailer. NSFW warning is in effect for some bloody good part-man/part-wraith-on-orc violence.

A big new Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor gameplay demo was brought to E3 2014, exploring more of the environment, the abilities of the part-Wraith ranger named Talion you play as, and the many choices in fighting the enemy you have.

The game comes from developer Monolith Productions and publisher Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, and is set between the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
