Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced the Nemesis Forge, a new update for Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ that will allow a player to bring their top Nemesis and Follower from Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ to Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ when it releases on October 10, 2017. In Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™, players created countless personal stories of revenge through the unique enemies and allies generated by the Nemesis System. With the Nemesis Forge, these stories continue in Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ by importing a returning player’s arch Nemesis from Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™, while also identifying a player’s most loyal Orc follower, who can help fight and defend against Sauron’s forces. The Nemesis Forge is now available for Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ on Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and Steam™.
For newcomers to the series who want to create their own unique Nemesis, Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ is available to try out for free on Xbox One and Steam™ starting today at 4pm BST through July 9.
Additionally, players will be able to purchase Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ on Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and Steam™ for 80 per cent off the regular price.
