Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War - 7 Leaked Details You're Not Supposed To Know

2. ... And Some Story DLC You'll Actually Want

Galadriel lord of the rings

Also included in the 'Gold Edition' are - sound the deflated airhorn - story packs!

Because nothing says "We designed this to get as much cash as possible" like gating a number of story-specific expansions behind a paywall. As the likes of Horizon and Nioh are proving, it is possible to deliver a full game without breaking away chunks of it for the consumer to purchase on top of a premium asking price.

Alas, said deluxe edition will get you 'The Blade of Galadriel' story expansion and 'The Desolation of Mordor' - which sounds like Smaug is going to make an appearance, despite the games taking place after he perished in The Hobbit. Still, in this series, pretty much anything can happen, so who knows where the limits lie.

Also, the leak states that these expansions will feature "new playable characters", so... playable Galadriel? Yes please.
