After a leaked listing appeared on retailer Target’s website over the weekend, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has today announced that the sequel to 2014’s critically acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be releasing this August as a Play Anywhere title on the Xbox One and Windows 10.
Titled Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the game promises to build on the “award-winning” Nemesis system found in Shadow of Mordor, with the player’s actions now shaping the environment and the characters in the world.
In Middle-earth: Shadow of War™, players wield a new Ring of Power and confront the deadliest of enemies, including Sauron and his Nazgul, in a monumental battle for Middle-earth. The open-world action-adventure game is brought to life through the expansion of the award-winning Nemesis System. The robust personalization from the first game is now applied to the entire world where the environments and characters are all shaped by player actions and decisions, creating a personal world unique to every gameplay experience.
