The Lord of the Rings has had plenty of interesting video games over the years, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel Shadow of War are two of the most iconic. Diving into the depths of Sauron's realms, these games offered an action-adventure experience that embraced the grittier side of Tolkien's universe.
Almost nine years after the release of Shadow of War, the Middle-earth: Shadow series is set to make a major comeback. While Talion's adventures won't be continuing in a new game, both of the original titles are hitting a new console in just over a week.
Today, Aspyr officially revealed the Middle-earth: Shadow Bundle in a trailer on YouTube. This new release brings the Game of the Year Edition of Shadow of Mordor and the Definitive Edition of Shadow of War to the Nintendo Switch 2, with the release date set for September 30, 2026.
Right now, the bundle can be pre-ordered digitally for $34.99, a 50% discount off the base price of $69.99 that will go into effect at launch. The games can also be purchased individually with a similar 50% pre-order discount. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition is $9.99 for pre-orders and will go up to $19.99 at launch, while Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition is $24.99 for pre-orders and will go up to $49.99 at launch.
