A Shadow Of War Producer Is Being Memorialized As An Orc Slayer

Michael Forgey, an executive producer at Monolith, passed away from cancer in March earlier this year. Now, Monolith is memorializing him as a downloadable companion in the upcoming Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Forgey is transformed into Forthog the Orc-Slayer who will randomly arrive on the scene to take out some orcs that are doing their best to ruin the player's day. As a musician, Forgey was part of a band made up of Monolith members appropriately titled Orc Slayer, making his role as a warrior with a severe Orc hatred.

Forthog is downloadable content that costs $3.99, $3.50 of each purchase going to Michael Forgey's family through December 31, 2019.

Check out the trailer below to see Forthog the Orc-Slayer in action. Shadow of War releases on October 10, 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
