Earlier this month, Warner Bros teased a save the date announcement for March 8th. This was to be the reveal of a new game suppsedly focused on the Batman genre. While that may in fact still happen, it appears that Target jumped the gun and that Shadow of War is the big reveal.
There are no names of characters included in the game, but appears to resemble that of Shadow of Mordor as the expansions also include playable characters different than the main campaign. With this reveal most likely occurring March 8th, expect a ton of news on it leading up to and including E3 in June.
