By Carlo Rodriguez, Christian Post Contributor

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is pulling all the stops in order to get everyone hooked into the new "Middle-Earth: Shadow of War."

Just recently, a new trailer for "Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" has been released, and it features an all-new live-action cinematic which is quite similar to the Peter Jackson films based on the J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series.

As of late, live action trailers have become rather popular. In fact, not too long ago, "Destiny 2" released a trailer that would make avid gamers drool. Even Bethesda has gotten into the live action trailer trend, releasing cinematic trailers for "Skyrim," "Fallout 4," and "Dishonored 2."

While not really doing anything to show actual gameplay footage, cinematic live-action trailers or commercials give a great sense of what it feels like for players to be in the actual game. Directed by Neil Huxley (Charlotte's Web and Avatar), the trailer shows the main hero of the story, Talion, battling his way through an army of orcs and other enemy warriors.
