Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released free DLC for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor available today that lets players take control of a new character.
You can now download the The Power of Shadow bundle, which allows you to take on the appearance of Sauron's servant, the Black Hand. The new playable character, who's an antagonist in the regular game, comes with three new Epic Runes that grant you new abilities.
- The One with Nature Rune makes you immune to poison attacks from Ukuk Captains or Ghuls.
- The Ascendant Rune give you double focus time for slow motion ranged combat.
- The Elven Grace Rune increases defense, which halves the damage of enemy strikes.
