Running for 16 minutes, the first gameplay walkthrough for Middle-earth: Shadow of War takes place many hours into the game and gives you a look at the Nemesis System. As the video points out, and the controls show, this is PlayStation 4 alpha gameplay.
The video’s description adds:
This Gameplay Walkthrough introduces viewers to the next generation of the innovative Nemesis System with the addition of Nemesis Fortresses, where players must utilize different strategies to conquer dynamic strongholds and forge their personalized Orc army. In this video, Talion and Celebrimbor, who return as the Bright Lord, must lead a fortress assault on the mountain valley of Seregost and take it from one of Sauron’s Overlords. To succeed, they will use the power of the New Ring to recruit Followers during enemy encounters – a new mechanic allowing gamers to establish entirely new stories of loyalty, betrayal and revenge. This Gameplay Walkthrough is just one of the millions of possibilities that players will experience in Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
And here’s the description for Shadow of War:
