Since launch, Middle-earth: Shadow of War has received its fair share of criticism for its somewhat heavy-handed approach to loot boxes and microtransactions, and now fans are being asked to pony up even more cash. Thankfully, the newly-detailed Shadow of War Expansion Pass looks to be fairly substantial, adding two new orc tribes and a couple story expansions that give players a chance kill orcs with new characters.
