Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

This morning, we shared with you new hands-on impressions of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. WB has also delivered some information about the voice cast, scribe, and composer that will be bringing the project to life.

Troy Baker (The Last of Us, BioShock Infinite) will step into the protagonist’s role once again as Talion. He’s joined by Nolan North (Uncharted, Deadpool), Alastair Duncan (Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance), Laura Bailey (Mass Effect 3, Halo 4), and Liam O’Brien (Final Fantasy XIII-2, Titanfall).

The soundtrack is being composed by Gary Schyman, who scored all three BioShock titles, the Destroy all Humans games, and more. The original story, which takes place between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is being written by Red Dead Redemption scribe Christian Cantamessa.
