About the game
If you're already immersed in the lands of Middle-earth with Journeys in Middle-earth, you know the road is never easy. The 'Dwellers in Darkness' pack arrives to make things even more tense and visually stunning. The main focus here is bringing terrifying villains to life, challenging your party's resolve. Imagine facing off against the Supplicant of Morgoth or Ollie the Troll with premium miniatures that bring the threat right to your tabletop. Additionally, the pack adds that sinister and mysterious shade that haunts the Dale region, significantly boosting the narrative immersion.

But it's not all about taking hits from giant monsters. To survive these new dangers, your party will need some serious upgrades. The pack provides essential new gear, including an extra copy of the Knife (complete with brand-new upgrades to make it lethal) and the intriguing Silver Circlet, a new trinket that could be the deciding factor between victory and defeat.

For those who love customizing their character builds, there are three new titles, such as 'Undying', which add new strategic layers to combat and survival. Whether you are tackling the challenges of 'Haunting of Dale' or revisiting the 'Shadowed Paths' campaign, this content is the missing ingredient to make the experience more visceral. It's the kind of addition that turns your table into an epic battlefield, where every equipment choice and every new title earned counts toward avoiding being swallowed by the darkness. Get your heroes ready, because the dwellers of the shadows are not playing around!
