One does not simply put Shadow of Mordor 2 on their resume before it's announced
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor 2 is riding a caragor out of the Swamps of Inevitability and into the verdant hills of Leak-dor as we speak. Monolith Productions, which led work on the first game, has several employees citing an "unannounced title" on their LinkedIn profಌiles, and an accomplished stunt and motion capture performer has already added the sequel to her .

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper.♔ Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
