The wait is over. The most comprehensive version of last year’s Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is now out. As well as sporting a new launch trailer, the game also comes at a very decent price of R700, a win for those who have yet to pick it up and are tired of paying R1 000 for a game.

As well, it comes with an exhaustive array of content, including the  Slaughter Tribe Nemesis Expansion, Outlaw Tribe Nemesis Expansion, Blade of Galadriel Story Expansion and Desolation of Mordor Story Expansion.

That is not the only reason why it is called the definitive edition though. Also onboard is a long list of improvements that includes enhancements a streamlined post-game Epilogue to new player skins and the complete removal of the market. That list is below:

Worth noting though is that the Definitive Edition does require an active connection to download some of the content, as not all of it will be on the disc. In case you’re still not sold, you can also download the Middle-earth: Shadow of War game demo available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or PC, as well as take a look at the trailer below.
