[Watch] Transferring Your Top Nemesis and Follower from Shadow of Mordor Into Shadow of War

Your nemesis returns, but so does your strongest ally.

Although Middle-Earth: Shadow of War was delayed until October, the game remains filled with hype. At E3 this year, Microsoft took the stage to show off more of Shadow of War after the delay announcement and fans remained excited. With this delay, Monolith Productions has the chance to polish the game to perfection, as well as add features like the one announced today: The Nemesis Forge.

The Nemesis Forge is technically a free add-on to 2015's Shadow of Mordorbut it acts as a transfer function between the games. Shadow of Mordor created the Nemesis System, which randomly builds enemies with different personalities, looks, strengths/weaknesses and if they defeat you enough times, they'd become your nemesis. Likewise, the thralls you get throughout the game grow in strength the more you assist them, and thus become powerful allies. All of this was randomly generated and not scripted by Monolith.

Transfer Uruk From Shadow of Mordor Into Shadow of War

Accessing the Nemesis Forge in the selection screen for Shadow of Mordor allows players to take these Uruk Hai that players have grown fond of and bring them into the sequel, Shadow of War.  Take your Nemesis and most loyal follower with you into the next fight.

As the video above states: "Nothing Will Be Forgotten."

Shadow of War will launch on October 10. Check out the official story trailer here.
