Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War to dole out another dose of orc murder this summer

After an accidental early reveal by those cheeky scamps at Target, Warner Bros. Games has officially announced Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War, a sequel to 2014’s acclaimed orc-murder and manipulation simulator, Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor. Taking place between The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings, Shadow Of War will continue the story of Talion, a human who became an immortal badass after being sacrificed by the Dark Lord Sauron’s minions, and Celebrimbor, the elf who forged the Rings Of Power and whose spirit is now bound to Talion. As teased in Shadow Of Mordor’s finale, our anti-heroic duo have forged themselves a new Ring Of Power and will be heading behind enemy lines to “turn all of Mordor against the Dark Lord” in an effort to undermine his growing armies.
