Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a new video (yes, another) for Middle-earth: Shadow of War introducing the Mystic Tribe. The Mystic Tribe is a faction of Orcs that specialise in dark magic, witchcraft, rituals and incantations that go back over a thousand years. Best get some Oil of Olay on the go then.

The Mystic tribe’s warriors are as adept at battle as the Orcs are in other tribes, but all of Mordor fears the curses and spells that the Mystic tribe are capable of. One of the Mystic tribe is able to call upon black magic, and ruinous spells of the Dark Lord to torment the bodies and minds of their enemies.

Shadow of War expands on the Nemesis system from the first game, here the Orcs you encounter possesses unique characteristics. The tribes interact with this system, giving each Orc a personality and characteristics in line with the tribe he’s a part of. Each encounter with an Orc is remembered and your past can come back to save you, or bring about your demise, depending on your decisions.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is out on October 10 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
