This is great news for fans of the Shadows of Mordor franchise but comes as no big surprise. Though it is fascinating to learn that Baker has been promoted to Performance Capture Director this will likely enhance the depth of the gaming experience in Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War will be available for Xbox One, Project Scorpio, Windows 10 PC (Windows Store and Steam), PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro beginning 10th of October 2017.
