Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War’s Open-World Featured in New Trailer

May 17, 2017

A new trailer is available for Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, providing the deepest look at its art style yet.

In the new official open-world trailer you can get a good look at the dynamic environments of Shadow of War, which include iconic Tokien-based areas such as the Island of Nurn, Cirith Ungol, and Gorgoroth. Although the emphasis is on level design, multiple characters are shown, both on foot and riding various mounts.

Check it out below.

Among the list of confirmed supported devices are Project Scorpio and PS4 Pro, in addition to PC. Warner Bros. has emphasized during interviews that it plans to harness the power of these devices to deliver a much better presentation this time around than in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

GameRevolution was able to preview Middle-Earth: Shadow of War at GDC, and is also scheduled to check it out at E3 2017. Stay tuned.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War has an August 22nd release date.
