Grab Your Axe and Take on the Frightener's Oath in the Latest DLC!

2025/05/29

‍

With the Dedicated Server and Farming-focused 1.5 update out the door, the team has been hard at work on what's next for Moria in 2025. Let's take a look at what you can look forward to this year as we continue expanding the depths beneath the mountain.

‍

The Orc Hunter Pack - Coming This June

Our next paid DLC content pack launches this June, and we're calling it the Orc Hunter Pack. Here is the pack’s in-game Appendices entry:

The most grim oath a Dwarf can swear is to become one of the Ukhnashûn, a frightener. These renowned orc hunters exact vengeance for all the ages of evil done to their kin. Relentless in the hunt, they take on the raiment of fear, blurring the shadow of their prey and what is in their hearts. As they collect trophies from the dead they invoke “râma izkun mashruzul” - for the memory of the burned.

Will you take the oath, exact vengeance and honor the memories of your kin?

‍

What's Included

With this pack, you'll get a cosmetic skin that lets you dress up and play as a proper Dwarf Frightener. Like all content packs it will also include matching decorations for your stronghold. Craft these grim furnishings from the trophies you’ve collected while out on the hunt fulfilling your oath.

‍

Let’s Hunt

Before you head out on the hunt, you'll want to fill a brewskin with the new Darkeye Stout. This brew has a unique effect: it's short duration but extremely powerful, allowing you to see in the dark without needing a torch.

Befitting the rites of the Hunters, you will apply a new rune to any weapon making it a Ritual weapon. Or you can craft the new Ritual Greataxe, The Frightener's Axe. While wielding these weapons every Orc, Goblin, Uruk, Troll, Warg, Fell Beast or Drake has a chance to drop a new Trophy resource.

‍

Trophy Decorations

After earning these trophies, head back to your base and deck it out in proper grim hunter style. The pack includes several different pikes for displaying those Orc skulls you've collected, stuffed Fell Beast heads for your walls, Warg hide rugs, and furniture made from Troll hide.

All of this is coming with the Orc Hunter Pack this June.

Relax by a Roaring Fire - Summer 2025

Hunting Orcs is a tough job, rewarding sure, but tough nonetheless. After swearing the oath, collecting the trophies, and drinking your fair share of Dark Eye Stout, you deserve to come back home and relax with a cup of tea. This paid DLC content pack will be heading your way later this summer as the perfect follow up to the Orc Hunter pack. Build your own wooden lodge, cozy up the hearth and relax after a long day in the mines. Stay alert for more details about this next paid DLC, coming soon!

Story Expansion Pack

You’ve hunted the trophies and built your own hunting lodge, what should come after? Where will the story take you next? 

The team here at Free Range Games is hard at work bringing you an exciting new adventure - a paid expansion that continues the story of the game’s campaign. We are itching to tell you more about this, as this year is shaping up to be an exciting one for all Dwarves brave enough to venture into the darkness beneath the mountain.
