Middle-earth: Shadow of War getting five free updates by mid December

Warner has released details of upcoming free content updates for Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

The first slice of free content arrives on 21 November which includes Endless Siege, Rebellion, and Enhanced Photo Mode. The next updates drop quite quickly on the 5th and 12th of December.

Endless Siege will have players defending their fortress against Sauron’s forces (21 November) and Rebellion involves crushing rebel Ologs and Uruks in your forces  (21 November). The Enhanced Photo Mode also releases on 21 November and adds new filters, frames and textures.

On 5 December, Online Fight Pits allows players to challenge another player’s Orc follower, Overlord vs. Overlord in a fight to the death. Finally, on 12 December Brutal Difficulty is being added which is more challenging than Nemesis “with no last chances.”

Warner also posted a tweet which indicates that more free updates are being planned for 2018 and it also includes a timeline for the paid-for DLC. The Expansion Pass is currently available for £32.99, or included as part of the Shadow of War Gold Edition for £89.99. The individual slices of DLC cost £11.99 each and The Desolation of Mordor Story Expansion costs slightly more at £15.99.
