Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition arrives early May

If you were looking for a reason to get Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor then you have no more excuses left, as Warner Bros has announced a Game of the Year Edition for the open-world action-adventure.

Arriving on 5 May in North America and on 8 May in the UK for the PC, Xbox One and PS4, this edition of the game will cost only $49.99, and will include the main game in addition to subsequently released DLC.

This means that one will also get story add-ons like The Bright Lord, which delves into the tale of the elven smith Celebrimbor, as well as The Lord of the Hunt. Also expect other downloadable content such as skins, runes, missions and the challenge and photo modes to be included. Having finished this on the PC last year, I highly recommend fans of the verse or the genre to set apart some money to indulge in this highly entertaining action-adventure starring a ranger called Talion who seeks vengeance for the brutal killing of his family.
