Shadow of War gets a new trailer showing the vast open world of Mordor

Shadow of War is getting a tantalizing new trailer that gives gamers a sense of the scale of the vast open world that publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer Monolith Productions are building with the sequel to the big 2014 hit, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

The trailer, released a few weeks ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) show, doesn’t have many words. It opens with the voice over, “Death calls for you again, Ranger. How do you answer?” The game comes out on the consoles and the PC on August 22.
