Developer Monolith Productions revealed the pre-order bonus DLC offered to those who want to get their hands on the upcoming action role-playing title Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor before the digital supply runs out, in the form of The Dark Ranger.

The DLC includes a Dark Ranger playable character skin, much to the dismay of all those who wanted a Frodo skin, as well as additional challenges, all showcased neatly in the promotional trailer that publisher Warner Bros released, available below.

In the game, players assume control of Talion, a resurrected ranger with nazgul-like abilities that's bent on having his revenge for the death of his family, with the help of a spirit of vengeance with a grudge of his own, against none other than Sauron, the evil overlord.

Gamers will have the option to level up Talion's abilities, choosing from either the ranger or the Wraith skill trees. The upcoming game features an interesting and innovative Nemesis system, that allows the players to interact with various enemy leaders and spread his influence over the orc army, eventually gathering a combat force of his own.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is coming out on October 7, 2014, for the Windows PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms.
