Everyone who’s familiar with The Lord of the Rings knows that bad guys get the best armour. Remember Sauron’s threads? Or that chap outside the Black Gate with a really big head?
Luckily the new, free Power of Shadow DLC that WB Games and Monolith have just released for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor includes a playable Black Hand of Sauron skin. No more looking like Mordor’s littlest hobo, Talion.
Everyone who owns a copy of Shadow of Mordor should find the content automatically added to their game. Aside from the new skin, it also adds three new Epic Runes: ‘Elven Grace’, which cuts enemy damage in half; ‘One With Nature’, which offers immunity to poison attacks; and ‘Ascendant’, which increases the focus slow-motion effect when drawing a bow.
Incidentally, Shadow of Mordor is currently available on Bundle Stars for a very reasonable 33% discount. It’s a very good deal for a very good game.
