Daedalic Entertainment has announced The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, a narrative-focused adventure game that will centre on J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous tricksy, dual-personality character.
Set to release in 2021, the game will explore events that occur between Gollum’s finding of the One Ring and the start of The Lord of the Rings story.
Unlike recent Middle-earth games that draw inspiration from Peter Jackson’s movie trilogy, Daedalic’s game will based purely on Tolkien’s books.
The project comes thanks to a new partnership between Daedalic and Middle-earth Enterprises; the company that owns the rights to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Gollum will also be just the first game produced as part of the deal; further games are being planned.
