Warner bros has revealed some news screens and the first gameplay footage of Monolith’s new action game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor begins on the night of Sauron’s return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. 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.
The new footage focues on the game’s free flowing combat as well as what the devlopers have coined the “Nemesis System”. Every enemy players face has a unique personality, strengths and weaknesses which are shaped by their encounters with the player, as such enemeis will react differently to the player depending on what happened during their previous encounter and their encounters with other enemies and characters the player had come into contact with.
Check it out.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor currently has a tentative release window of late 2014 and will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
