This also ends the ability to import one’s Nemesis or Follower from Shadow of Mordor into Shadow of War, although Shadow of War’s online support is not affected. With it, players could play in a sandbox environment, with all skills unlocked, against the biggest orc enemies they had built up over their main playthrough. The Nemesis Forge feature was added to Shadow of Mordor shortly before the 2017 sequel Middle-earth: Shadow of War. That means the 2014 game’s Nemesis Forge and Vendetta missions are no longer available to players. WB Games announced on Thursday that it had quietly disabled online services for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor just two days prior.
