Shadow of War is the sequel to 2014's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, both of which are based on J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. The game is set in between the events of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings film trilogies, from which the game also takes inspiration.

Set almost immediately after their last adventure, Middle-earth: Shadow of War sees the undead ranger Talion and his wraith sidekick Celebrimbor expand their arsenal of skills as they forge a new ring of power in order to dismantle the Dark Lord Sauron's influence.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the follow-up to 2014's Shadow of Mordor, is in many ways a prototypical video game sequel. Its main goal is simply to give you more. A vastly larger world, a wider range of weapons and abilities, and more ways to interact with the dark realm of Mordor.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War (SoW) is a sequel to the popular Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (SoM), an Action-Adventure set in Tolkien's Middle-Earth. SoW continues the story as a direct sequel. The previous game saw Talion, the protagonist, take revenge for the loss of his family.

Plot. Shadow of War continues the narrative from Shadow of Mordor, following Talion who is still infused with the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor. Talion and Celebrimbor travel to Mt. Doom, where they forge a new Ring of Power free of Sauron's corruption.

Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium Shadow of Mordor is based on Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium and Peter Jackson's movie franchise. The game takes place in the 60-year gap between the events of Jackson's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The player controls Talion, a Gondorian Ranger who bonds with the wraith of the Elf Lord Celebrimbor, as the two set out to avenge the deaths of their loved ones.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a third-person open world action-adventure video game, where the player controls a ranger by the name of Talion who seeks revenge on the forces of Sauron after his family, consisting of his wife and son, are killed by those that lead them.

Yes shadow of war has so much content compared to Mordor, so many new maps to explore, and a ton of variety in the Uruks and what you can do with them. The addition of the fortress was massive as well.

Summaries. The family of Talion, a ranger of Gondor responsible for guarding the Black Gate of Mordor, is killed by Saurons armies, but Talion is revived with wraith-like abilities and heads into Mordor to exact his revenge.

When focusing on the main objectives, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is about 20½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 55½ Hours to obtain 100% completion.

There aren't multiple endings in the traditional sense, it's more (possible spoilers here, they don't say what happens but rather who's story finishes in each ending); Act III ending/main ending- finishes Celebrimbor's story. Act IV ending/epilogue ending- finishes Talion's story.
