The acclaimed Middle-earth series is seemingly making its way to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. Discoveries indicate a Middle-earth: Shadow Bundle for the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the complete sagas of Talion and Celebrimbor to the platform. The bundle serves as a comprehensive collection for fans of the “Nemesis System” and J.R.R. Tolkien’s expanded universe.

The bundle includes two full titles: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition and Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition. Pre-orders for the collection are available, featuring a significant incentive for early adopters. While the standard retail price for the bundle is set at $69.99, it is currently available for pre-order at $34.99, a 50% discount that will remain active until the official launch.

Included Content and Standalone Pricing

The Middle-earth: Shadow Bundle is designed to provide the full experience of both games, including all post-launch content and expansions. For players who may only want one of the two titles, standalone digital versions will also be available on the Switch 2 eShop.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition ($19.99 standalone) includes:

• The core game featuring the initial introduction of the Nemesis System.
• Lord of the Hunt story mission.
• The Bright Lord story mission, which allows players to take control of Celebrimbor.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition ($49.99 standalone) includes:

• The core sequel featuring large-scale fortress sieges.
• Desolation of Mordor story expansion.
• Blade of Galadriel story expansion.

Console Availability and Community Reaction

The discovery of a dedicated Switch 2 bundle has sparked a renewed conversation regarding the availability of these titles on other current-generation consoles. According to reporting by Push Square, the news has led to a surge in demand from PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users for native ports. While both games are playable on those systems via backward compatibility, the community has expressed a desire for dedicated versions that could potentially leverage the higher processing power of modern hardware to enhance the Nemesis System or visual fidelity.

As of now, the discovery points toward a Switch 2 release, potentially marking one of the first major third-party collections for the new Nintendo hardware. The bundle’s 50% discount offers an entry point for those looking to experience the series’ unique blend of open-world combat and procedural storytelling for the first time on a portable-hybrid system.
