Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ Game of the Year Edition has been released on the Nintendo Switch 2, available since September 30, 2026, on the eShop for 19.99 euros in France. The port was handled by Aspyr, a studio specializing in bringing games to new platforms. This version includes all the downloadable content released after the original game's launch, which was more than a decade ago. The game is set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, following Talion, an elite ranger cursed and bound to the spirit of Celebrimbor, who seeks revenge against Sauron's forces. It blends characters from Peter Jackson's film adaptations with figures from J.R.R. Tolkien's original writings, offering both accessibility for new players and depth for longtime fans. The combat system features fluid swordplay, parries, and acrobatic dodges, with Talion wielding three main weapons: Urfael, Azkár, and Acharon. The game's skill tree allows players to develop both physical combat abilities and spectral powers, enabling Talion to daze enemies, teleport, and create shockwaves. A standout feature is the Nemesis system, which dynamically manages the hierarchy of Sauron's army, with each orc officer having unique traits and weaknesses that players can exploit. Exploration in the game is reminiscent of the Assassin's Creed series, relying on detecting tower ruins through Celebrimbor's spectral mode. While the visuals remain faithful to Peter Jackson's cinematic interpretation of Tolkien's world, they lack diversity in settings and have not been upgraded for the Switch 2. The game runs at a locked 30 frames per second, with no option for higher frame rates. The sound effects are punchy, and the French dubbing is of high quality, though some dialogue files show slight audio compression. The GOTY Edition includes the main campaign, story expansions such as Lord of the Hunt and Lord of Light, and mission expansions like Warband Guardians of the Burning Eye, offering a total playtime of 35 to 40 hours. Aspyr's port has been criticized for lacking technical improvements, though the game's core mechanics and content remain strong. The Switch 2 version includes a gyroscope feature for bow aiming, enhancing the gameplay experience on the handheld console.
