Warner Bros. has released a short new trailer for Middle-earth: Shadow of War which introduces players to the Terror tribe, a particularly unkempt, violent and not at all friendly faction of Orcs whose speciality is spreading… terror throughout Mordor.

In Shadow of War, Orcs are now affiliated with certain tribes, whose traits can in turn extend their influence depending on the favour received from the tribe Overlords, who rule fortresses throughout the game’s open world. The Terror tribe is one of them.

Shadow of War expands on the Nemesis system from the first game, where Orcs you encounter are generated with unique characteristics. The tribes interact with this by giving each Orc a personality and characteristics in line with the tribe he’s in.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an open world action RPG that continues on from the events in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Players will continue the adventures of Talion as he tries to thwart the increasing threat of Sauron and his Nazgul forces.

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