Middle-earth: Shadow of War for Xbox One

Battle as Baranor in Lithlad

Baranor travels to Lithlad, a harsh desert region to the southeast of Mordor filled with the fallen monuments of ancient Númenór. There he encounters The Vanishing Sons – an Easterling mercenary company – as well as a few familiar faces. His ultimate goal is to topple the imposing Marauder Citadel ruled by the Overlord, Takra the Sand Spider. But first, he must take out its surrounding outposts and hold them with his newly hired friends.

Hunt Ringwraiths across Mordor as Eltariel

Play as Eltariel, the Blade of Galadriel, as she hunts the Ringwraiths across Mordor. Her story parallels the events of Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ with new boss fights against the Nazgul, and intersects with epic moments from the story of the Bright Lord. Eltariel is also unlocked for the main campaign and the Shadow War with a new duel wield combat style, new powers based on the Light of Galadriel and the ability to wield the New Ring. Uncover more secrets of Shelob and the Dark Lord with Gollum.
