Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is out tomorrow, and yes, it has indeed received the inevitable Season Pass treatment. Check out exactly what you’ll get for your money in this new trailer from WB Games.
The main draw here is clearly the chance to play as your wraith buddy Celebrimbor, taking the fight directly to evil overlord Sauron. I’m sure that will go well.
Actually that mission, ‘The Bright Lord’, looks very cool, intentionally bringing to mind the opening scenes of The Lord of the Rings movie and that epic fight at the foot of Mount Doom. The other content doesn’t look quite as interesting, just a few challenges and a monster-hunting side mission or two.
