Middle-earth: Shadow of War lets you import your Nemesis and Follower from Shadow of Mordor

Remember when Middle-earth: Shadow of War developer Monolith played coy when asked about the possibility of save imports from Shadow of Mordor? Now we know why.

Monolith has announced Nemesis Forge, a new feature that's available now in a free update for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Nemesis Forge lets you import your arch Nemesis, as well as Orc Follower and bring them into the upcoming Shadow of War.

This basically allows the story/struggle you witnessed in the original game to continue in the sequel, itself expanding on the Nemesis System in major ways. Accessible from the main menu, the Nemesis Forge will automatically detect the highest ranking Nemesis in your save file.
