<p>The eye of Sauron will gaze only upon a season pass and a season pass alone in <em>Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor</em>. Amidst the rigamarole of online leaderboards, challenge maps, and bonus runes aplenty, the dark lord of Middle-earth himself will be available exclusively as DLC as well as the One ring to bind them.</p>
<p>Celebrimbor, Talion&#8217;s wraith companion, will also be along for the ride if you pay up front. Celebrimbor carries with him a burden far greater than money: he stands as the unwitting accomplice to Sauron&#8217;s reign through his creation of the rings of power through which the Lord of the Rings ruled.</p>
<p>If you opt into the season pass, you&#8217;ll be able to play Celebrimbor as the great Elven leader was in the second age armed with the One Ring itself to bind them all.</p>
