One Can Simply Watch This Shadow of Mordor Trailer to Learn About the Game

Warner Bros. and Monolith Productions on Thursday released an extended trailer for upcoming Lord of the Rings console and PC game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Titled "Everything You Need to Walk into Mordor" (a riff on Sean Bean's now-famous line from The Fellowship of the Ring), the trailer gives you an overview of what to expect from the game.

The nearly nine-minute trailer provides a deep dive into Shadow of Mordor's characters, story, weapons and runes, Nemesis system, preorder bonuses, and more. The takeaway here is that after watching the trailer, you should be better equipped to walk into Mordor, even if Sean Bean doesn't think it's a good idea.

Shadow of Mordor launches September 30 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. With the game's release now less than a week away, Warner Bros. has been ramping up marketing for the game, including a recent Orc Takeover of the game's Twitter account.
