Following on from the story that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in early talks with WB and the Tolkien Estate to produce a new Lord of the Rings TV series, we now have an estimate of how much it may cost. Spoiler alert: IT'S A LOT!
Earlier in the year, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos declared his intentions to find the next Game of Thrones. However, it looks like the streaming studio may have found something even bigger in a Lord of the Rings series.
I now have mixed feelings, because Shadow of War has spiders. Big ones. Attractive ones. Tolkien is probably spinning so furiously in his grave, that he’s about to drill his way into the mines of Moria when his spirit see’s how Shelob has been tweaked.
Bigger, ballsier and announced well in advanced…er, ier. The Monolith Productions developed sequel to Shadow of Mordor was originally set for a release date of August 22 when Warner Bros. Interactive dropped the first trailer in February, but you’ll have to wait a few weeks longer for a chance to slash Orcs to ribbons again as Middle-Earth: Shadow of War will now release on October 10.
Orcs are still out for blood, but like the old paraphrased adage goes: Not all Orcs. Some Orcs will actually be of aid to you in Shadow of War, an intriguing new gameplay feature this time for a sequel that created fantastic love-to-hate relationships with the green-skins in the Nemesis System. Said system has been expanded, but as design director Michael de Plater revealed, there’s a bigger emphasis on creating stories with enemies and allies this time around.
It’s not often that a game readies itself for the PC market by giving potential consumers a checklist of the hardware needed to run it several months ahead of schedule. But there’s clearly some confidence attached to the sequel to Shadow of More Doors, as Middle-Earth: Shadow of War has that very list ready for anyone who wants to get their rig up to speed before it launches.
