Middle-earth: Shadow of War trailers – all the footage, all in one place

shadow_of_war_fortress

Triple-A games are marketed more aggressively than ever these days, with dozens of trailers emerging in less a trickle than a flood in the build-up to release. Middle-earth: Shadow of War looks to be no different, so we thought it’d be useful to pull together all the trailers and preview footage into one dedicated hub. This way, if you miss any, you’ll only need to check one place. Welcome to said hub.

Want details, as well as footage? Here’s everything we know about Middle-earth: Shadow of War so far.

We’ll update this whenever Warner Bros. release a new trailer. Expect that to happen quite a lot as we near release, which is scheduled for August 22 this year. You’ll find the most recent trailer at the top, with a short description of what it reveals.

Without spoiling much, we get our first hints at the story beats in this trailer which dropped just ahead of E3. Talion and Celebrimbor seem to be tilting further towards megalomania, there’s some pontificating on the corrupting nature of the rings, and a sinister new woman character is introduced.
