Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor screenshots boast epic credentials

Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor, the new open world game from F.E.A.R. developer Monolith, was recently unveiled in Game Informer. Now a handful of screenshots and a single piece of concept art are right here for you to run your hungry eyes over. Have a look below.

Shadows of Mordor tells the story of Talion, a ranger who is murdered by the forces of Sauron. A spirit of vengeance decides to resurrect him, and Talion sets out to have his revenge. One screenshot gives a first glimpse of the supernatural powers this undead ranger will be able to wield in battle.

It's all due in 2014, for both new and old consoles. Hopefully we'll get a more thorough look at it soon.

Thanks, Eurogamer.
