Monolith Productions is working on a sequel to 2014's "Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor" called "Middle Earth: Shadow of War" and the game might be released as soon as this summer, according to Target. 

"Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor" is an open world action-adventure video game set within Tolkien's legendarium, developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

The Target listing surfaced on Twitter Sunday afternoon. It has since been taken down. The product listing showed a release date of August 22, but it is whether that is a confirmed date or just a Target placeholder. As of press time, neither Monolith Productions nor publisher Warner Bros. had commented on the leak.

"Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" appears to continue the story of Talion (and the wraith Celebrimbor that possesses him), as the duo continue to seek vengeance against the Dark Lord Sauron. The first game saw Talion battle his way through the Orcish hordes of Mordor to avenge the death of his family at the hands of Sauron's captains, pairing sword and stealth combat with Celebrimbor's more magical abilities to destroy and dominate.

As for a release date, the store posting states that Shadow of War is set to be launched on August 22. The base version will retail for the usual $60 price tag, while the Gold Edition will go for $100. It is safe to expect a revelation from Monolith and Warner Brothers in the coming days.
