Major digital sellers already released irresistible offers for pre-orders of "Middle Earth Shadow Of War".  

"Middle Earth Shadow Of War" is the second installment of the much-loved 2014 hit video game, the "Shadow of Mordor." Green Man Gaming (GMG) and GamesPlanet give customers a decent 20 percent discount as early as now. For one thing, the game is still set in the world of the popular film, the "Lord of the Rings". The goal is to withstand the onslaught of Sauron's forces.

"Middle Earth Shadow Of War" pre-order: Exact price

According to Destructoid, "Middle Earth Shadow Of War" pre-order offers at GMG starts $45. The Silver and Gold Editions are offered with a 20 percent markdown too. To illustrate, the former is originally priced at $80 but now sells for $63.99. Meanwhile, gamers can buy the Gold option for $79.99 from a previous price of $100.

On the other hand, GamesPlanet showcases the "Middle Earth Shadow Of War" for quite a higher price of $47. Consequently, the Silver Edition retails for around $62. Lastly, the Gold variant is being sold online for about $83.

Although GMG and GamesPlanet are just two of the many virtual retailers, other online gaming stores are expected to implement the same discount in the coming weeks. Titles from Warner Bros. usually get price cuts to boost their sales. More deals would crop up as "Middle Earth Shadow Of War" heads to main gaming platforms at the end of summer.

Release date & features of "Middle Earth Shadow Of War"

Per Digital Spy, "Middle Earth Shadow Of War" boasts an improved Nemesis system. Also, Talion heads an army this time, aiming to completely destroy Mordor. Just like its predecessor, each region in the game is still ruled by a warlord.

Additionally, gamers will experience a lot of betrayals from members of their armies. Most of the soldiers would hold a grudge if left behind in battle. Both friendlies and enemies in "Middle Earth Shadow Of War" would have special traits that would either help or hinder in the completion of the quest. Some examples are a living battering ram to break open gates and an armored cavalry to shove through front lines.

Interestingly, "Middle Earth Shadow Of War" offers the ability to ride and dominate a drake. Indeed, players will experience what it is like being a Nazgul too. The game is expected to be released on Aug 22.
