Oh great another of this revenge themed series that misses the spirit of Tolkien. Wait, is that BLACK DUDE in LOTR?!

Bought.

delSai · Feb 26, 2017

First game was pretty cool. Guess this is what they'll announce soon.

Pretty sure I heard about it a while ago on Kotaku Splitscreen.

Good post

Fuck that "Gold Edition" nonsense.
Otherwise, consider me intrigued.

Day one, I loved the first one!

Lifeline · Feb 26, 2017

Time to finish the first one. I stopped after you get to the second area.

I remember really enjoying it.

Is that the Balrog in the background of the Gold Edition?
It'd be cool if the entire game didn't take place in Mordor. I'd love to visit Rohan or Gondor.

It's got the Balrog and Tower of Isengard, safe to assume it won't just be Mordor any more.

edit - or maybe not...

I'm guessing those expansions are future releases part of a season pass? Not expansions locked to the Gold edition.

Crimsonclaw111 · Feb 26, 2017

I'll buy it if they manage to make it not boring and repetitive as hell. The only great thing was the nemesis system in the original.

brawly · Feb 26, 2017

Wait, only Mordor again? Say it ain't so.

Boke1879 · Feb 26, 2017

Yea I'm all in on this. Found the first game fun and interesting.

Flux · Feb 26, 2017

I was hoping more games would like imitate or emulate the nemesis system. I really liked shadows of Mordor despite the flaws like being ridiculous OP by the halfway point or some silly enemy immunities like immune to stabbing.

Demoncarnotaur · Feb 26, 2017

So in for this.

HeisenbergWW62 · Feb 26, 2017

First one had great combat but the mission design and world were too repetitive for me. Had a lot of great aspects, so I'm in for the sequel. Especially if it has more of middle earth

GavinUK86 · Feb 26, 2017

Hoping for an actual story this time. Gameplay in SoM was great, don't remember anything else about it.

MetalliCabombination · Feb 26, 2017

Lets hope this ome is not just a tech demo with a combat system

SliceSabre · Feb 26, 2017

I honestly had a ton of fun with the first game so I'm down with this.

I as hoping so but apparently not :/

Had fun with the first one. Hope this one improves on all the shortcomings of that one.

Zukkoyaki · Feb 26, 2017

First game was awesome, day one!

Peroroncino · Feb 26, 2017

About goddam time, Shadow of Mordor was dope so I was surprised there wasn't anything on a potential sequel.

However I think the title isn't doing them any favors, Shadow of Mordor 2 would be much more straighforward.

Shepard · Feb 26, 2017

I loved SoM. Bring it on.

Cow Goes Moo · Feb 26, 2017

i wonder if it will have some sort of online component to it

like send your orc or faction/something out to war against online opponents
i think that would be neat, even if it is just reduced to a results screens

also makes me think wb would just jam lootboxes into it, considering how prolific they are with "extra content"
"customize your orc with cool armor!"

shit like orc army gets me excited though as dumb as that may sound

Monocle · Feb 26, 2017

So down for this. I recently got back into the first game. Love it.

Zoon · Feb 26, 2017

Cool, I hope there are more RPG elements this time. Can't even remember the last time I killed a Nazgul.

We fighting the Nazgûl?

The Lone Courier · Feb 26, 2017

Hopefully its not as repetitive as the first game.

bunkitz · Feb 26, 2017

Dope title. Dope (standard) box art. I'd rather it not be the March 8 announcement cause I'd like that to be Arkham. Still, cool.

I really need to play the first game.

Ether_Snake · Feb 26, 2017

Isn't this just a re-release of Shadow of Mordor with some expanded content?

II-Vanguard-II · Feb 26, 2017

This is one hell of year for ARPGs, Shadow of Mordor was great can't wait for this one.

AAMARMO · Feb 26, 2017

March 8th.

Tizoc · Feb 26, 2017

If they trim down the open world elements I can see myself picking this up day 1.
Otherwise...eh this being a WB game I'll wait a year or so for it to drop to around $15.

No. It's a new game.

pr0cs · Feb 26, 2017

Very cool, first ps4 game I bothered to plat

Some Nobody · Feb 26, 2017

So this is definitely what's being revealed on March 8th, then. Gotcha.

UrbanRats · Feb 26, 2017

Damn hope its real.
Had a lot of fun with the first one.

"epic new story" indicates something else. Also, why use another title AND have a "gold edition"? Nah.

dEvAnGeL · Feb 26, 2017

the armor looks amazing

ArkhamFantasy · Feb 26, 2017

Somebody is in big trouble.

ezekial45 · Feb 26, 2017

Apparently some press are seeing an unannounced WB game during GDC week, so yeah I'm sure this is totally it.

TenCentCoast · Feb 26, 2017

I really want this to be better than Shadow of Mordor. I still contend that half the reason it's as loved as it is is because 2014 was an ass year for games. I do believe some people liked it, but I couldn't stand it.

Kyoufu · Feb 26, 2017

I hope this one doesn't have a ton of input lag.

Raptor · Feb 26, 2017

Only thing i ask is to keep the combat, very satisfying combat system.

Nameless · Feb 26, 2017

Wish they'd let you create your character instead of sticking you with RC-Cola Aragorn.

Leak? Middle Earth: Shadow of War [Box Art, Game Details, tons of DLC]

What do you think the "Gold War Chest" is for?

Should be put to work in a coal mine.
