The Brawler class as well as a new level limit was part of the Fate of Gundabad update, which was released towards the conclusion of 2021. It’s worth noting that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and also its sequel bridged the 60-year hiatus between both the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit in video games.

Recognized for its Nemesis mechanism, which introduces a variety of new foes based on the player’s interactions with certain commanders of Sauron’s Forces, the series has a cult following. A new stealth-based game on one of Tolkien’s most popular characters, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, is eagerly awaited by fans of the saga.
