It's been quite a while since we've had a new, triple-A Lord of the Rings game, but that's going to change on September 1, according to developer and publisher Daedalic Entertainment.
"Story-driven action-adventure game" The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will ship this fall on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch version will arrive later in the year. Announced in 2019, the game was initially planned for a 2021 release, but it was delayed to 2022, and this is the first time we have a firm date for it.
Based on a gameplay video released last year, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum appears to be a stealth game like Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, or Metal Gear Solid. Like Assassin's Creed, it will involve a fair bit of climbing and platforming. But unlike recent stealth games, it will be a linear affair rather than an open world. It follows the (mostly) untold story of Gollum's activities during the book The Fellowship of the Ring, when Frodo and company were traveling from The Shire eastward to Rivendell, Moria, and beyond.
