Three years have come and gone since the Shadow of Mordor was released. Enough time has passed that fans may need a refresher before they dive into Shadow of War. With this in mind, Monolith Productions and Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment have released a breakdown of Middle Earth’s backstory to bring players up to speed in the form of a “101 Pop! Quiz”.

The Orc, Bruz the Chopper, a potential NPC follower in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, is the narrator who provides the Middle Earth backstory leading up to an introduction to the next chapter. In the video above, viewers get a chance to see new features, an upgraded Nemesis System, and much more. Peppered with humor and fun popping noises, the video makes a good argument for adding this game to your collection.

The video also features Talion and Celebrimbor from the original game, returning to once more move against the Darklord. Shelob, the spider, also makes an appearance as a woman and plenty of other magical beasts appear as well. Middle Earth’s backstory ties in well to the new game, picking up where it last left off.

Overall, Shadow of War is promising to be a bigger and better game for fans of the franchise. With a massive open world rife with Orcs to befriend or be-enemy, and exciting features it appears that this game will keep players busy for some time to come. Shadow of War was released today for Xbox One, PS4 and PC wherever games are sold.
