Show of the Week: Shadow of War and 5 Times Sean Bean Died Tragically in Games

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is the sequel to Tolkien-based hit Shadow of Mordor and comes out in August 2017, which is great news. The only drawback is anything Lord of the Rings-related instantly reminds us of Boromir actor Sean Bean and the times he has died in many, various works.

Of course Sean was going to die in the videogame adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, where his arrow-heavy final moments are no less devastating in PlayStation 2-era graphics. But they're just as moving, if a lot weirder, in Lego Lord of the Rings, where the deadly Uruk-hai arrow is replaced by first a push broom, and then a banana. Aragorn is polite enough not to mention it.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War comes out on release date 22 August 2017 (US) and 25 August 2017 (Europe) on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
