Four new screenshots were also released, as shown below.
The studio also revealed that co-writer of Rockstar Games’ open-world western title Red Dead Redemption, Christian Cantamessa, will serve as the writer of the game’s original story.
Also included in the crew is BAFTA award-winning video game musical composer Garry Schyman, who will provide the game with an original score.

Set in Middle-earth, you’ll play as Talion, a valiant ranger who, moments before his own death, witnesses his family slain the night Sauron and his army return to Mordor. Resurrected by a spirit of vengeance, and powered with Wraith abilities, Talion ventures into Mordor to exact his revenge, whilst learning about the spirit that compels him and the rings of power.
Developed by Monolith, in collaboration with Middle-earth Enterprises, Peter Jackson and artists from Weta Workshop, who worked on the Academy Award winning film adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, will also be lending a helping hand with settings, characters and story.
The game hits store on October 7th for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
