Warner Bros. and Monolith confirm that a new, free downloadable expansion for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is now available bringing a special Lithariel skin for the main character, transforming Talion into the much more attractive warrior, not to mention a new challenge mode and an epic rune.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor launched last month and delivered a really impressive experience that not only featured a huge open world but also intense action and a really innovative Nemesis system that turned your Uruk enemies into much more complex foes.

The title has since received quite a few different add-ons, ranging from free ones to premium packs that added various things to the experience. Now, developer Monolith and publisher Warner Bros. are launching another free expansion for Shadow of Mordor.

Titled Power of Defiance, the DLC is already available in the game as part of a free update that should already be live across the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game.

The add-on includes a free character skin, allowing the protagonist to transform from Talion the rough Gondor ranger into Lithariel, the lovely warrior that's introduced during the story as the daughter of Lady Marwen, the Queen of Nurn.

Besides the extra skin, players can also embark on the Test of Defiance challenge mode, which tasks players with proving their skills by defeating Sauron's Warchiefs without dying or relying on the Wraith powers.

Last but not least, a new epic rune that gives players another Last Chance to return in combat when downed by an enemy has been introduced.
