Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are coming to the Switch 2 on September 30 in a bundle featuring all DLC and a launch discount.
As reported by Eurogamer, the acclaimed Middle-earth open world games Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are finally making the jump to Nintendo's Switch 2. Launching on September 30 in a combined bundle handled by Aspyr, both titles will include all previously released downloadable content. Players looking to grab the bundle can take advantage of a launch window pre-order discount dropping the price by 50 percent, before it settles at its standard price of 62.99 pounds or 70 dollars.
Originally praised for introducing the innovative procedural Nemesis system, the series stands out for how its enemies remember encounters and rise through rival ranks. Even years after their initial releases, very few developers have replicated the system, largely due to Warner Bros holding the patent until 2036. While the studio behind the original games, Monolith, unfortunately closed its doors in 2025, this collection gives portable and cross-platform players a fresh chance to experience one of the defining design mechanics of the previous generation.
This release follows Aspyr's recent remaster of War in the North, continuing a trend of bringing classic Middle-earth adventures to modern hardware. For players who live on the go through cloud gaming, mobile devices, and portable consoles, adding these massive single player experiences to the Switch 2 library is a welcome win. It is a great excuse to dive back into the bloody ranks of Mordor, especially for anyone who missed them the first time around.
