The team over at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment just revealed the opening cinematic for Desolation of Mordor, the next wave of story DLC content for the popular game. The next expansion is set to arrive on May 18th and will feature Baranor, the Captain of Minas Ithil, and his daring escape from a fallen city’s utter destruction and how he came to be reunited with his brother, Serka.

“Together, the two warriors must hire an army of human mercenaries to combat a new Orc threat to the East, endure the harsh desert region of Lithlad and ultimately conquer the imposing Marauder fortress of Shindrâm.”
