If you’re an avidMiddle-earth: Shadow Of Mordorfan, I have some bad news for you. Warner Bros. are removing all of its online features, so you only have until 31st December 2020 to enjoy them before they disappear forever.

The Nemesis Forge allows players to transfer their top Nemesis and Followers from Shadow Of Mordor to its sequelShadow Of War. So if you’ve got any orc nasties you’re particularly fond of, it’s best to get them sent over sooner rather than later.

Perhaps the greatest loss will be its Vendetta Missions. They allow players to seek vengeance on orc captains who kill their friends and get rewarded handsomely for it. There’s something darkly amusing about exacting stone cold revenge on a horrible orc who thinks they’ve got away with murder. Not long now before this is off the table, unfortunately.

It’s a shame to see Shadow Of Mordor’s online features go, but there’s a certain inevitability to it all. The game launched all the way back in 2014 so it was only a matter of time before Warner Bros. decided to yank out the game’s ethernet cable. Even if its online capabilities will be gone at the end of the year, at least the single player campaign will remain largely unhindered.

If you’ve not given Shadow Of Mordor a shot, the all-seeing RPS Hivemindthoughtit was the best action game of 2014, which is pretty high praise. And John, Jim, and Alec had a big oldchatabout it too.
