The last story DLC for Middle-earth: Shadow of War, The Desolation of Mordor is out today. This one goes off to the east of Middle-earth, in a brand new region that's never been explore in a game before. You'll create a human army this time, to take over Lithlad, the lair of the Were-Wyrms. No ring of power, no Wraith powers - just all man with Baranor. This is comes before the removal of the microtransactions in the game, but I'll definitely still be taking a look. Will you?

Features of the Desolation of Mordor Story Expansion

  • Play as Baranor, the Captain of Minas Ithil and survivor of the city’s demise, in a new story expansion where players can command the forces of Man against a new Orc threat to the East.
  • Unite with Torvin, the Dwarven Hunter, to craft powerful new combat gear, including the shield, gauntlet, grapple and kite.
  • Hire mercenaries to create a human army and conquer the all-new desert region of Lithlad, lair of the Were-Wyrms.
  • Complete a host of new outpost missions and overthrow the imposing Marauder fortress of Shindrâm.
  • Fight to survive in Mordor as a human without the power of a Ring or a wraith to cheat death in a new rogue-like campaign mode.
