14 Most Anticipated Video Game Sequels Of 2017 - Ranked

11. Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War

Monolith are going all-out batpoop ridiculous for Shadow of War. To a degree that's surely going to annoy the faithful LOTR fans even more, but just go with it.

To that end, Cerebrimbor (your spectral elven pal) has forged - wait for it - another One Ring. As you do.

Let's leapfrog the nomenclature of there being more than one, One Ring, as the story goes that the only way to combat Sauron's forces is for Talion to use this new ring to amass an entire army of orcs, rather than just random groups.

Ultimately it's an excuse to expand on the phenomenal Nemesis System seen in the original, where any enemy could become a thematic long-time villain, bulking up the sheer amount of chaotic actions you can partake in as scores of soldiers do your bidding.
