'Shadow Of Mordor' Release Date, New Trailer, Monilith Releases New Screenshots At Gamescon: Story Will Center On Tracking Gollum [VIDEO]

"Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor" has new screenshots and trailer from Gamescon. "Shadow of Mordor" has a release date of September 30.

The latest screenshots for Monolith Productions' show Gollum in action. Gollum will aparently be a pretty large part of the central story. A trailer released last month also shows Gollum swearing fealty to Celebrimbor.

Talion (the main character) is focused on tracking down the strange, ring-loving Gollum.

The first task is to follow Gollum's trail, which can be seen as glowing blue tracks in the wraith world. Talion follows the trail up and down cliffs and notices that buildings that are ruins in the present day appear brand new in the wraith world. This will play into puzzles in the game somehow, but developer Monolith Productions isn't elaborating yet.

"Shadow of Mordor" will also include PlayStation Legion Missions with the pre-order. Monolith Productions community manager Andy Salisbury offers more information on what beasts you'll be stalking. "In these exclusive missions, you'll go head-to-head with the deadly Blood Hunters, and the fearsome Flesh Burners, two of the most savage Warbands in all of Mordor (and two groups of hunters determined to personally bring your head to Sauron)," Salisbury wrote in a recent PlayStation.blog entry.
