The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Has Been Delayed

Gollum, The Lord of the Rings has been postponed. The upcoming adaptation was scheduled to launch on September 1 (with a Switch port coming sometime later), but developer Daedalic Entertainment is taking a few more months to polish up Gollum’s solo adventure. 

Fans have been critical of Gollum’s perceived lack of quality, especially after a recent gameplay trailer where the game looked pretty rough around the edges. Daedalic appears to have taken these concerns into consideration. The studio doesn’t reveal a new release date, only saying it’s delaying the game “by a few months.”

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was first announced in 2019 and centers on Gollum’s life after he loses the One Ring during the early chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring. The game largely emphasizes platforming and stealth as players sneak and climb their way across environments, though players can attack enemies depending on if they side with the character’s Gollum or Smeagol personalities.
