Until now, the Orcs that will inhabit the open world inย Middle Earth: Shadow of Warย are the onlyย monsters we have heardย about. ย That makes a lot of sense as the nemesis system fromย Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordorย was near-universally praised, and the sequel promises to buildย upon this game mechanic. As any fan ofย The Lord of the Ringsย knows though, there are many more dangers in the Tolkienย world than those green ugly orcs. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a brief trailer to give a taste of the other monstrous dangers that will prowl Mordor.
Tolkien fans are sure to delight at the numerous ghastly beasts featured in a mere 15 seconds of footage fromย Middle Earth: Shadow of War. In the trailer’s limited timeย we see the Balrog Tar Goroth. This Balrog is featured in the game’s Mithril Edition as a 12-inch statue fighting Carnan Drake. The trailer features other fire-breathing drakes, gruages, caragors, spiders, andย Ghรปls. Lastly, we get to set eyes onย Carnรกn, “the mysterious spirit of nature who can take the form of vicious creatures herself.”
If all of those monster names are Greek to you, no worries. All you really need to know is that these monsters will be inhabiting the expansive open world of Mordor inย Middle Earth: Shadow of War. ย Thisย means that you will have to keep one eye open at all times to avoid these many monsters when necessary. Gamers will get a chance to cross paths with the evil Balrog, Carnรกn and more when it releases October 10, 2017.
Shadow of Warย will be available on PS4,
