The first downloadable content (DLC) for the role-playing game (RPG) "Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" has been released along with free content.

Warner Bros. Interactive recently released the Slaughter Tribe DLC, which features the titular tribe, a gory and flesh-eating group. The trailer for this DLC shows natives slicing and chopping heads off while blood splashes to the camera. Fans could also see how the tribe brutally dices other denizens and slams heads with humongous bats.

Composed of bloodthirsty Orcs, this new enemy will be an excellent challenge for players, as they could ambush anyone easily. For players wanting to take on the group, one of the missions added to the "Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" DLC allows players to take on the tribe's captain.

Aside from this, fortresses can now be decorated in line with the Slaughter Tribe for a thematic, albeit dark, vibe during gameplay. A gear set also comes with the update, and it will be available for players who defeat the legendary Slaughter Tribe Orcs.

Meanwhile, other additions revealed alongside the Slaughter Tribe DLC include free content. First, players can explore the Endless Siege, where gamers defend their stronghold from Sauron endlessly. Next, there is Rebellion, which allows players to destroy rebellious Ologs and Uruks who plan against the Bright Lord. Lastly, for the ultimate gaming experience, players could use new frames, filters, and textures in the photos of their fights.

Another DLC that should keep fans' waiting is arriving in December. The Outlaw Tribe Nemesis Expansion introduces mighty and defiant warriors that would fight anyone, regardless if it is an invader or a Lord of Mordor.

"Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" was released on Oct. 10. It is available in PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
