While Shadow of Mordor is no doubt one of the most expansive Lord of the Rings adventures ever brought to consoles, die-hard fans may have already gutted the game from top to bottom. If that’s the case, then Lord of the Hunt is exactly what you need to give you just a little bit extra Orc-bustin’ fun!
While we’ve already seen one content update so far, Hunt will be the first official expansion to flesh out new missions, challenges and more. According to a recent press release, the pack will drop by the end of the year, and will see everyone’s favorite Ranger-Wraith “… join Torvin the Dwarven Hunter and use his powers of Domination to turn these menacing new beasts against the Warchiefs, proving that Mordor cannot be tamed.”
For the complete rundown on what’s in store for Middle-Earth next, simply read below:
- New Story & Lore — Discover more tales from Torvin, the Dwarven Hunter, as you work together to tame the beasts of Mordor and fight Sauron’s minions.
- New Missions & Challenges — New Beast Hunting challenges and collectibles open up new trophies and achievements.
