As Talion’s personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.
Featuring dynamic environments, melee combat, super natural powers and the nemesis system that enables players to form personal vendettas with enemies effecting encounters and interactions with other characters based on players choices. Middle –Earth Shadow of Mordor, sounds like it could be the first great LOTR game not directly related to the films.
