While originally announced in March of 2019 and set to release later this year, little known about the new project with only a teaser trailer and a few screenshots being shown to the public. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is being developed by Daedalic Entertainment, a studio mostly known for their expertise in point-and-click, traditional adventure games, who will be stepping a bit out of their comfort zone as the Steam page for the new Middle-earth title describes it as a “story-driven action adventure” with a seemingly large focus on stealth.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC. The title will utilize exclusive next-gen features such as ray-tracing and custom DualSense settings for the PS5.
