Lord of the Rings Fans Cut Forlorn Figures As Massive Video Game Announcement Breaks – “Who Is This For”

There are just so many games coming out that sometimes it becomes a tough task to keep track of every release. However, it’s not that hard, though, when choosing the best out of the rest. It can be said in the case of The Lord of the Rings franchise, which is set to make a deeper dive into the gaming universe with an upcoming project.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an action-adventure game under the beloved fantasy series. Its makers have just recently revealed an official date of release for the title, which is due to come out later this year.

Most of the fans are not hyped for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum

For those uninitiated with the title, Gollum was first announced three years ago for a release in 2021. Unfortunately, it faced a big delay and now it’s set to make its way on September 1, 2022.

In this game, players will take on the role of Gollum while exploring Middle-Earth. Based on the character’s personality traits, they will have to make crucial decisions throughout various situations in the story. The main objective will be to hunt down a ring that Gollum lost to Bilbo Baggins.

Moreover, The Lord of the Rings fans will also get to react to multiple scenarios as Gollum’s kinder self, Sméagol. But doing so will have also its own consequences later in the game.

In case anyone missed it, Daedalic Entertainment is the developer of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.
