WB Games suspends Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor online features

Publisher WB Games has discontinued online services for Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. The game didn’t have true multiplayer, but powerful enemies that had killed other players, for example, could appear in other players’ sessions.

These include the Vendetta system, where enemies who have killed other players drop by in sessions of other players, the Nemesis Forge, which allowed to take the greatest enemies and allies into the game’s sequel, and the WB Play platform and the leader boards. Also, the associated achievements and rewards can no longer really be obtained, but the publisher states that it is still possible to obtain them, albeit without being really connected to the online services.

WB Games says that due to ‘a change to our network’ the services no longer work and that this applies to all platforms. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a third-person action game with RPG elements. Set in the Lord of the Rings universe, it uses what is popularly referred to as the Arkham combat system. The game was released in 2014 for Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. A sequel to the game was released in 2017.
