The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced quite a while back. Since then, the game has been confirmed to be releasing on the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
An official update on the game’s future, provided today, still lists all those platforms. However, the game is being delayed.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be delayed to 2022. Prior to the delay, it had been scheduled to release this year. The announcement came from Nacon. Nacon confirmed in the same press release as the delay that they have reached a co-publishing and distribution agreement with developer Daedalic Entertainment.
About The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Athletic and agile, sneaky and cunning. Driven by the desire to once again hold in his hands what he lost, Gollum is one of the most fascinating characters in the world of The Lord of the Rings™.
He has seen things that others can not imagine, he has survived things that others would not dare mention. Torn by his split personality, he can be vicious and villainous as Gollum, but social and cautious as Sméagol.
While being vital to the story by J.R.R. Tolkien, many parts of Gollum’s quest have not been told in detail yet. In The Lord of the Rings™: Gollum™ you get to experience this story. From his time as a slave below the Dark Tower to his stay with the Elves of Mirkwood.
Use stealth, agility and cunning to survive and overcome what lies ahead. Climb, leap and grapple your way past dangers or into advantageous spots.
While Gollum might not be a fighter, it is not unlike him to assassinate a careless enemy when the chance presents itself – or dispose of them in more creative and villainous ways.
The decisions you make and the way you play have a direct influence on Gollum’s personality: Always struggling between the two sides embodied by Gollum and Sméagol, it is up to you to decide whether the darker side of Gollum takes over or if there is a spark of reason left in what once was Sméagol. One mind, two egos – you decide!
