This new trailer details the weapons and buffs in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor dropped today. Frankly, just mute it though. Look how pretty it is, my precious.

Naysayers have been calling this an Assassin’s Creed set in Middle-Earth but I see nothing wrong with that. The game touts a complex taunting, spying and enemy system unique to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC versions dubbed the 'Nemesis System' that means each time a player meets an enemy all their past encounters will result in different reactions.

Shadow of Mordor is a new story that takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings and puts players in control of a ranger whose been resurrected and infused by the spirit of a Wraith. Catch up on the story of Shadow of Mordor with the release date trailer here. The game is set to drop on October 7 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC with the Nemesis System and on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 without the added enemy powers.
