Hint to game developers, voice actors, and stunt performers–check whether the project you’ve been working on has actually been announced before updating your LinkedIn profile.
Lauren Mary Kim, a prolific stunt performer across both film and video game motion capture, let slip that she’s involved in Shadows of Mordor 2 via just such a mistake. The profile has since been amended, but not before the world found out and the image was helpfully preserved by NerdLeaks.
The credit is listed under Blur, which happens to be the name of a CGI studio behind trailers for games like Arkham Knight, Dishonored 2, and the Division. So it’s a pretty safe bet we’re going to see, at a minimum, a cinematic announcement trailer at E3 this year.
As successful as the first Shadow of Mordor was, it’s no surprise that a sequel is in the works. The nemesis system was an awesome, original mechanic and I can’t wait to see it iterated on again.
