Middle-earth: Shadow of War is right around the corner, but if you’ve been living under a rock and have missed the countless stories and previews we’ve done in the last few weeks, you have one more opportunity to really get in-depth with the game before launch. Today, Warner Bros. and Monolith have released a “Shadow of War 101” trailer, narrated by none other than Bruz the Chopper – one of the hulking behemoths that will serve as a member of your Orc Commanders in the game.
The purpose is immediately clear – a rather humerous reminder from Bruz’s perspective on the events of the first game, leading into this one.
There are a few minor spoilers, but the video shows off more than a few features we’ve only seen hints of in previous videos. But don’t take my word for it – enjoy the 5:50 video above!
Middle-earth: Shadow of War picked up a nomination for Best PC Game of E3 2017, but WON for Best Multiplatform game, as well as winning our top award for Best of E3 2017.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 10th, 2017, with support for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X features.
