Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the highly anticipated game from Monolith Productions and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has finally hit the shelves – but if you’re expecting to face Sauron, you’ll have to pay a little extra.
A new trailer released yesterday focuses on some of the features players can unlock by purchasing a season pass for the game, one of them being a mission that has the ranger Talion, the game’s protagonist, wielding a ring of power against the Dark Lord himself.
The season pass (valued at $25; currently on sale for $17.49 through Steam) offers the following:
- Guardians of the Flaming Eye Orc Warband Mission: Face Sauron’s elite Defenders before the Black Gate and earn the Rising Flame rune.
- Lord of the Hunt Story Mission: Players will gain new skills and earn unique epic runes as they hunt and tame legendary monsters of Mordor.
- The Bright Lord Story Mission: Play as Celebrimbor, the great Elven king of the Second Age, and face Sauron and the might of his forces.
- Test of Speed Challenge Mode: You can demonstrate your efficiency in battle and earn high scores for Talion’s speed in defeating your foes.
- Test of Wisdom Challenge Mode: You can prove your strategic abilities, through earning points for skill, speed and efficiency.
- Endless Challenge Mode: This mode will continually spawn new legions of enemies. The Runes that you will earn will provide powerful upgrades.
- Access to future content: Including runes, skins and additional add-on content.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is available on PS4 ($59.99), XboxOne ($59.99), and PC ($49.99). It will be available on PS3 on November 18.
