Mordor spreads its Shadow

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today released Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game allows players to orchestrate their unique plan of attack on Sauron’s forces and create their own personal nemesis.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a different game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will.

It begins on the night of Sauron’s return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance.

Based on the player’s actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion’s personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is available on all major game consoles and on PC.
