During an E3 panel at Geoff Keighley’s E3 Coliseum, Middle-earth: Shadow of War actor Troy Baker and creative lead Michael de Plater showed off some gameplay of the upcoming sequel to Shadow of Mordor. At the end of the demo, Monolith’s de Plater confirmed that ‘you never have to replay the same mission twice.’

‘We can never replay that mission. Time is going to move forward, the world is going to evolve, the guys that are dead are going to stay dead,’ de Plater told Baker after he asked about replaying a mission that was on the big screen behind them. ‘The world constantly moves forward and evolves. You never have to replay the same mission twice. It’s cool.’

‘We’re giving you guys the ability to craft your own story, and craft your own character, and choose: will be the ranger or will you be the wraith?’ added Baker.

There’s some additional stuff in the 23 minute presentation below that may excite fans, but it all kicks off at the 21 minute mark.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is out October 10 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
