After a leak from Target, Warner Brothers officially confirmed Middle-Earth: Shadow of War with an announcement trailer last week.
Now, the sequel to Shadow of Mordor has a gameplay teaser (above) ahead of its official worldwide gameplay reveal set for March 8th. And no, your internet is going screwy, the video really is only 5 seconds long. The teasiest teaser of all teasers.
The teaser shows Tallon riding a drake (dragon), which would be a badass edition to Middle-Earth gameplay. However, the video only shows a cut scene, not actual gameplay, so we can’t say for sure if you’ll be able to fly around Middle Earth on a drake or not just yet.
In other Shadow of War news, the different editions of the game have been revealed by Warner Bros. The expensive Mithril Edition actually includes a limited edition Tar-Goroth Balrog vs. Carnan Drake Statue–so, I mean, the drake has to be a gameplay feature… Right?
