Gamescom kicks off its celebration a little early in Germany with Xbox holding their press conference today to let players know what’s to come in the coming months. We’ve got special editions, Xbox One X news, and more. With the highly anticipated release of the sequel to Shadow of Mordor around the corner, Microsoft took center stage to unveil a brand new Xbox one S Shadow of War bundle to amp up hype for the new game. If that wasn’t enough to get Middle Earth fans excited, they also dropped a new trailer alongside the reveal – check it out in the video below:

The Shadow of War bundle will include the following:

• Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
• Legendary Champions War Party
• Epic Sword of Dominion Items
• Both 500 GB and 1 TB versions will be available
  • 1TB for $350, not available in Japan or China
  • 500 GB for $280, not available in the US, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, China, or Japan
• One wireless controller
• One month Xbox Game Pass subscription
• 14-day Xbox Live Gold Trial

Middle-Earth fans can get their hands on this bundle this October 10th. The system itself will be the white version of the Xbox One S but for those that are interested in a more colourful system, the newly announced Minecraft Xbox One might be more up your alley.
