In Hamburg, “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum” is being created, an action adventure by Daedalic Entertainment. It will be released on May 25 on Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. The developers have now presented the Collector’s Edition.
What kind of game is it?
- Gollum is an action-adventure that was announced in 2019 and was originally planned for 2021. However, it has been postponed twice – the release date of May 25 is now final. The game has already gone gold and completed production.
- Players will take on the role of Gollum after he was able to take the “one ring” for himself. His inner conflict with Sméagol is also represented in the game.
- The game is receiving a lot of international attention and will be released for PC and consoles, both of which are rare for a game from a German developer. Daedalic is mainly known for its point-and-click adventures like Deponia or for role-playing games in the world of “German Dungeons and Dragons”: The Dark Eye.
