Daedalic Entertainment has announced The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, an action adventure game that follows Gollum from The Lord of the Rings after he acquired the One Ring, but before the events of the novels and films. It will be released for PC and "all relevant console platforms at that time" in 2021. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the first title in development in a new partnership between Daedalic Entertainment and Middle-earth Enterprises. Plans for future games are alaready in the works. According to Fitchelmann, Daedalic does not plan to go "too deep into the uncanny valley" by making hyper-realistic games. "When it comes to shapes, colors, we definitely try to produce something that is a statement," he said. As such, expect a very different approach to interacting with Middle-earth. "Since this is a game about Gollum, if you imagine gameplay, stealth is the obvious choice as opposed to combat with a sword," Fichtelmann explained in an interview with Daily Star.
Daedalic aim to release The Lord of the Rings: Gollum in 2021, on PC and “all relevant console platforms at that time”, which may be a small hint to next-gen consoles being the intention. The date also lines up nicely with Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings television series.
