We won’t be getting anymore Lord of the Rings movies anytime soon, but Monolith Productions’ Middle-earth: Shadow of War should help to keep the franchise alive for the time being. The new footage shown at E3 shows us how they’ve expanded the acclaimed Nemesis System from 2014’s Shadow of Mordor, with a great focus on RPG elements. Troy Baker will reprise his role as the Ranger Captain Talion, the combat once again looks as brutal as ever.

As much as I loved the first game, I found the open-world aspect to be severly lacking, but from what we’ve seen so far Shadow of War will also be greatly improved in that particular area. I want to explore the land of Middle-earth, goddamit!

Originally set to be released in August, Middle-earth: Shadow of War will now arrive on October 10, 2017 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC courtesy of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
