New updates and features coming soon to Middle-earth
A new difficulty and online fighting pits are just a couple of the free updates that have been announced for Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Not only will players lead Talion and Celebrimbor through new fortresses and missions, they will also be put to the test with the Brutal Difficulty - which is basically the very, very hard mode where players will no longer receive a second chance to get back up once defeated.
Developed by Monolith Games and published by Warner Bros, Shadow of War - the sequel to the award-winning Shadow of Mordor - is an open-world RPG set before the events of the Lord of the Rings. Players must continue Talion's quest to rid Middle-earth of Orc and Uruk armies by seizing fortresses.
Upgrade Talion's weapons, armor and abilities using the enhanced skill tree system and collect Legendary gear and warriors with loot crates unlocked with in-game and premium currency.
Free updates for Shadow of War
Shadow of War's latest free updates include:

Rebellion
Crush the rebel Ologs and Uruks in your forces as they seek to undermine the Bright Lord. Rebellion will be available from November 21st.
Enhanced Photo Mode
Apply new filters, frames and textures with the Enhanced Photo Mode update during sieges to get the best action shot, or choose a picturesque view on your travels. Enhanced Photo Mode will be available from November 21st.
Online Fight Pits
It's Overlord vs Overlord, choose your Orc follower and make them fight to the death with another online player's in the arena. Victory will result in powerful rewards and upgrades. Online Fight Pits will be available from December 5th.
