Just in case you missed out when the game first made its debut, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition to reel all potential players back in once more. The "comprehensive" version of the open-world action game will include all the goodies that originally released as DLC, as well as the free updates and improvements the game implemented recently.

This version includes the main game, full Expansion Pass, additional story campaigns and missions, Orc tribes, weapons, abilities, enemies, a new region, Orc tribes, and more. You get just about everything that's released for the game, as well as the updates that recently made the rounds: the removal of the market and micro transactions, an updated post-game, enhancements to the Nemesis system, Endless Siege mode, Photo Mode upgrades, new difficulty levels, player stats, and a whole lot more. If you skipped out on the game the first time around, you definitely should make time for it now.

“Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition brings together all of our free content updates and gameplay improvements, along with our Story and Nemesis Expansions, providing the very best experience for players. Whether you’re diving in for the first time or making your return to Middle-earth, there’s never been a better time to walk into Mordor," said Michael de Plater, Vice President of Creative at Monolith Productions.

You can grab a free demo right now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC if you think you might want to commit, and otherwise the Definitive Edition will run you $59.99. You'll have to download additional content aside from the main game, of course, so make sure you've got a decent internet connection.
