Nacon and Daedalic Entertainment have announced that The Lord Of The Rings Gollum will launch for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam on 1 September 2022, and for the Nintendo Switch sometime later in 2022.

The Lord Of The Rings Gollum, based on the legendary The Lord Of The Rings trilogy of books by J.R.R. Tolkien, tells of Gollum’s experiences from behind-the-scenes in the first chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring.

After losing his precious ring to Bilbo Baggins, Gollum decides to leave the Misty Mountains and embark on a perilous journey that leads him from the dungeons of Barad-dur to the realm of the Wood-elves in Mirkwood. In order to survive the dangers of his journey through Middle-earth, Gollum has to sneak and climb and use all his cunning. He also has to deal with his Hobbit-self—Smeagol.

It’s up to the players if they want Gollum to have the upper hand when it comes to making important decisions, or if they prefer to allow Sméagol to take over. Gollum will also encounter well-known characters from the books as well as a few new faces.
