Middle-earth: Shadow of War's first story trailer dropped today, revealing a handful of amazing new items and characters to entice Lord of the Rings nerds.

Shadow of War's newest trailer includes looks at a new ring of power (wielded by the protagonist Talion), the Nazgûl, the army of the dead, a great spider that could be Shelob, and a balrog.

That's a lot of cool new stuff for the Shadow of Mordor sequel coming this October.
