As Eltariel, aka the Blade of Galadriel, players will take on the newest Nazgûl addition with her signature Elven blades and the Light of Galadriel, along with a range of new abilities and skills. The Blade of Galadriel story DLC is available now as a standalone purchase for £11.99, or as part of the game’s Story Expansion Pass or full Expansion Pass, the latter of which also includes additional Orc tribes among other content.

Here’s some key features players can look forward to in the DLC:​
​

• Encounter memorable new Nemesis characters, such as Flint, Tinder and the Slayer of the Dead, while battling the Nazgûl and learning more mysteries of their past.
• Gain eight unique Legendary Orcs who can return to join your forces in the main story campaign with new abilities added to the Nemesis System.
• Unlock an Eltariel character skin that can be used in the main story campaign.

As well as the new story DLC, Warner Bros. also detailed some free content coming to all Shadow of War players, including some tweaks to the game’s Nemesis System.

Orc Captains will now exhibit new personality traits and skills, both friend and foe alike, such as being able to summon Ghuls or fire arrows with “pinpoint accuracy”, while Ologs can now stagger nearby enemies and damage structures with their Tremor ability.
