Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an action game developed by Warner Bros. Interactive for the Play Station 4 platform. The game is a continuation of its predecessor, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and is set in the world and characters of JRR Tolkien's books, but with a closer resemblance to Peter Jackson's cinematic version.

The game takes place between the events of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", but with a few discrepancies compared to the books. The Nemesis system, which changes the game world and its inhabitants based on the player's actions, is back and improved from the previous game. Additionally, players who have characters from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor can transfer them to Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Players control Talion, who is possessed by the elven ruler Celebrimbor, and they try to use a ring of power to build an army of orcs and trolls to fight against Sauron and his generals. Overall, Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a cinematic gaming experience with a unique Nemesis system and an engaging storyline.
