Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor gets first DLC ‘Lord of the Hunt’

Oh darn, it looks like Monolith Productions and Warner Bros Int. are giving us a reason to revisit Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor — that 'oh darn' is sarcasm by the way.

Shadow of Mordor is a great game and it's totally worth continuing on our journey as Talion in the first DLC expansion, Lord of the Hunt.

This DLC has Sauron being his usual self and releasing Beastmaster Warchiefs to pay a visit to the monsters of Mordor. Little does Sauron know that one does not simply send Warchiefs into Mordor. Talion and Torvin the Dwarven Hunter are going to put a stop to the Warchiefs, by using the monsters against them.

Here's a concise look at what the DLC will be bringing:

• New Story & Lore: Discover more tales from Torvin, the Dwarven Hunter, as you work together to tame the beasts of Mordor and fight Sauron’s minions.
• New Nemeses: Face off against the Beastmaster Warchiefs, powerful new Uruks who have the ability to ride monsters and engage in perilous mounted combat.
• New Monsters: Ride into battle on the Wretched Graug to vomit toxin at your foes, stalk your enemies on the predatory Caragath and attack from the shadows or raise an all-consuming Ghul Horde.
• New Missions & Challenges: New Beast Hunting challenges and collectibles open up new trophies and achievements.
• New Epic Runes: Make your Mount unstoppable with five new epic Runes that make you the ultimate hunter.
• Test of the Wild: Test your skills against the Beastmasters and mount your trophies on the leaderboard.
• New Character Skin: Lord of the Hunt skin transform Talion into the ultimate Beastmaster.

Shadow of Mordor​ is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
