Those tricksy release dates! Why does theys always lie to us?

Announced last year by Daedalic Entertainment, Gollum is set to release on next-gen hardware and certainly looks like a Lord of the Rings game.

While this particular game is based more on the JRR Tolkien novels than Peter Jackson’s film adaptions, there are certainly some pretty clear similarities.

The developers shared a little more insight as to what they would be focusing on and how the game is expected to play.

Gollum from the Lord of the Rings is tragic, that’s for certain. He’s also mentally unstable and prone to violence. So how do you even begin to make a video game about him? That’s the challenge that Daedalic Entertainment have on their hands with the character, but the studio reckons that they’ve got a neat idea on how to approach the idea of Gollum for some good ol’ video game storytelling.

Headlined by Daedalic's original Deponia trilogy of humourous adventure games, point 'n click your way to victory with the Daedalic Colossal Bundle. You can also engage in some turn-based strategic RPG combat, kill evil aliens disguised as celebrities with rainbow lasers, sell custom weapons to potato heroes, and much more!
