Shadow of Mordor will be very respectful of LOTR canon, says dev - GameSpot

Lead writer Christian Cantamessa attempts to assuage fan concerns about new game straying too far from Tolkien's work.
In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, gamers take on the role of Talion, a valiant ranger whose family is slain in front of him the night Sauron and his army return to Mordor, moments before his own life is taken. Resurrected by a Spirit of vengeance and empowered with Wraith abilities, Talion ventures into Mordor and vows to destroy those who have wronged him.
