The removal of Middle - earth: Shadow of War's microtransactions will officially occur
on May
8th of this
year, with players able to spend and receive the premium microtransaction - driven currency, Gold until July 1
8th of this
year, at which point the premium currency
market of Middle - earth: Shadow of War will disappear forever, alongside Gold and the game's loot boxes, known in this case as War Chests.
