It’s worth noting that although Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is going to be available on last generation and current generation consoles, the last gen iteration of the game will not be on par with its more modern counter part. Penning the story and script for Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is Christian Cantamessa who achieved critical acclaim when he was Lead Writer and the Lead Designer on the universally well received and highly praised Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar San Diego in 2010, leading to the fan community expecting a strong driving narrative. Monolith Productions are working closely with Middle-Earth Enterprises, (who own the world wide rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise and The Hobbit) Peter Jackson (Director and Producer of The lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy) and the special effects and prop makers Weta Workshop who created a number of the weapons and armour for the Lord of the Rings movies to ensure that all the various points in the game match up with the canon within the established universe. The game was announced and revealed on the 12th of November in 2013 when Game Informer announced that their December issue would feature a spread cover image and contain 14 pages of information, screenshots and concept art.
The development of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor was first made public knowledge after an artist accidently revealed that Monolith Productions was currently deveoping an all new Triple A title that wasn’t related to their MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) Guardians of Middle Earth, the leak was discovered by Kotaku Columnist, Supernnuation.
