New details for Monolith's fantastic "Shadow of Mordor" (check out HNGN's review round up here) first DLC have been announced. The downloadable expansion will be called "Lord of the Hunt," and it will be available "later this year," according to a report at Kotaku.
The new beasts you'll tame and ride are the wretched graug: a graug that spits poison; a caragath: a stealthier caragor; and you'll also be able to control and dominate ghuls, the game's version of zombies, calling hordes of them upon request.
Your new targets will be Beastmaster Warchiefs...that is, uruks on mounts. Kotaku reported that there will be specialized showdown missions for each, and you'll need to un-mount the bosses before taking them on. Kotaku also heard that any ranked nemesis will also now be able to climb onto a mount.
These beast-based missions will be tackled with Torvin, the dwarf, and add up to "hours" of new story content. There will be new challenges, new epic runes, and a "Test of the Wild" score-based mode with leaderboard attached.
There will also be a new "Lord of the Hunt" skin for Talion to don, as well.
The "Lord of the Hunt" DLC is included in the $24.99 "Shadow of Mordor" Season Pass. Or, of course, you can buy it alone...Monolith told Kotaku the price would be $9.99.
There's also a new trailer for the DLC goodness below. Check it out:
