MIDDLE-EARTH: SHADOW OF WAR

Developer Monolith Productions Publisher Warner Bros Format PC, PS4, Xbox One Release October 10

A show-floor demo is no use, really, when you’re playing a game whose magic will only truly become clear after dozens of hours spent making friends and enemies. Yet still Shadow Of War manages to impress. We immediately fall in love with the Shadow Strike, which sees Talion instantly teleport to an enemy’s side after firing a mystical arrow at them. The only black mark is a delay until October.
