Monolith Productions has just released a new video showcasing the newly added Online Fight Pit feature to the popular Middle-Earth: Shadow of War title. The latest fighting feature came with the newest update, seen here, and allows players to put their best Orc forward.

The Online Fight Pit is a free-to-download in-game activity that allows players to engage in brutal combat all in the name of glory. You can fight against enemies that represent other players, fight their armies, and completely dominate the world within Shadow of War.

The gladiator style opposition adds another layer of immersion for the game, giving players an opportunity to earn more loot and conquer more than just the storyline. The video above showcases a few of the fighters that players can use, and it gives a first hand look at how the pits are designed.

"In the epic sequel to the award-winning Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, go behind enemy lines to forge an army, conquer Fortresses and dominate Mordor from within. Experience how the award winning Nemesis System creates unique personal stories with every enemy and follower, and confront the full power of the Dark Lord Sauron and his Ringwraiths in this epic new story of Middle-earth."
