With October a couple months away, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Productions want players to feel the hype for Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Though dancing Uruks from Gamescom are interesting, new trailers and screenshots take the cake. The first trailer introduces fans to the Machine Tribe. They’ll beat you, grind you and smash you into a pulp. Check them out below.
In this next trailer, fans will get to hear the official theme song for the game. “Fires of War” was written and composed by both Nathan Grigg and Kelli Schaefer. The somber tone provides an interesting vibe that offers a different approach from the epic sounds fans are accustomed to. Nonetheless, the trailer and lyrics are below.
Stone by stone
Cracked, crushed, fallen
Beauty burned, erased
But not forgotten
I’ll take your melodies
May your last breath
Fill the air with embers
I inhale
In their blood I will stand
Let the waning light of man
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
Till our time burns away
Till our embers fade to grey
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
My grief is swollen
In rusty chains
Tethered to the killing wheel
Sun up, sun down, sun up, sun down, again
One burning candle
One wind whipped flame
I carry in my teeth like an animal
Vengeance my strength
In their blood I will stand
Let the waning light of man
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
Till our time burns away
Till our embers fade to grey
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
Last but not least, checkout new screenshots showcasing Balrog, Gorgoroth & Zog below.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War is set to release on October 10th.
