Gamescom 2017: Middle-earth: Shadow of War Receives New Trailer

At Gamescom 2017, Microsoft unveiled a new Middle-earth: Shadow of War trailer that focuses on the many foes you will be facing in Mordor this time around, including the menacing Balrog. The trailer shows orcs raising the Balrog from a pit of lava, and shows Talion and Celebrimbor having to deal with them. However, they aren’t alone in this battle as we are introduced to Carnan, a spirit of nature who has survived in Mordor and can take on many different forms. We don’t know yet if she is friend or foe, but we know she’s not a fan of the Balrog.

In addition to the trailer, which you can watch below, Microsoft also announced Xbox One S Shadow of War bundles. The contents of which are as follows;

  • Xbox One S with either a 500GB or 1TB hard drive
