Middle-earth: Shadow of War Endgame Details Revealed

Defend your captured fortresses against Sauron's counter assault.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War will have an endgame mission called Shadow Wars.

Eurogamer reports Shadow Wars will be a mini-campaign of sorts that can be completed after players finish the story and have taken over all of Mordor. Successfully finishing the endgame content will grant you the Shadow of War's true ending, which allegedly ties the story into Lord of the Rings.

In Shadow Wars, players will defend their fortresses from a counter assault launched by Sauron. Players will be on the defensive as they maintain control over several capture points.

Those who succeed and eliminate the opposing warchiefs will retain control of the fortress. Failing to do so will force you to retake the fortresses and may task you with recusing the orc follower that was designated as Overlord of the fortress.

The mini-campaign will be broken into various stages, which get progressively more difficult.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War launches for PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 10. For more on the game, read about its ranked online mode, microtransactions and first DLC pack The Blade of Galadriel.
