F*ck YES.

Possibly the coolest enemies in the history of fantasy, Sauron looks to be calling in reinforcements after being thoroughly owned during the campaign of Shadow of Mordor.

As such, the leak mentions you'll be "confront[ing] the full power of the Dark Lord Sauron and his Ringwraiths" across the campaign, potentially setting these horrific creations up as sub-bosses, MAYBE letting us duel with the terrifying serpentine Fell Beasts they ride, too.

The only thing to keep track of - if Monolith are taking note whatsoever of canonology - is that the Ringwraiths can't fully be defeated due to the events of the Fellowship, meaning the devs will have to think of a natural way to take them out of the running without making it feel like a retreat.

Good luck with that.
