Get ready to head back into the gruesome adventures of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor as Talion and Torvin take on Sauron’s most formidable forces in the all new Lord of the Hunt DLC coming later this year.
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. Interactive and Monolith Productions unveiled heaps of details surrounding their game’s first downloadable expansion pack, Lord of the Hunt. Scheduled to release later this year – presumably after the game launches on seventh-generation consoles – players can purchase the expansion pack individually or as part of the game’s Season Pass.
In Lord of the Hunt, Talion will join Torvin, the friendly Dwarven Hunter, in an attempt to stop the impending attack of Sauron’s powerful Beastmaster Warchiefs. Using his powers of Domination to control the wildlife of Mordor, Talion will turn the tide of combat against the Warchiefs and halt the Sauron’s plan in exterminating the creatures of Mordor.
