Development studios Daedalic Entertainment and Nacon have announced the platform release date and more details about their new game in a special showcase for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.

The Lord of the Rings :Gollum will be released on May 25 this year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Steam/Epic). Additionally, a Nintendo Switch version will be released later this year.

The game is accompanied by a new story trailer and a gameplay showcase, which features a short tutorial segment in the Misty Mountains in Gollum's Lair, where stealth gameplay will take center stage. Players will be able to throw rocks to distract enemies, as well as traverse the realms through climbing and parkour moves.

Gollum's small stature helps to see the world of Middle Earth from a unique perspective that has not been explored in other games inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's works. The game also allows the player to converse with the characters and make some important decisions, depending on which personality is currently dominant in his mind: the gentle Gollum or the cunning Smeagol.

The developer has confirmed that Gollum will allow players to find the best next move, and the Elf King's Halls have been shown as a visitable location in the game. Gollum will also be able to take players to places that don't appear in Tolkien's verse but have been confirmed to have been visited by Gollum, so the game won't contradict the main books in any way.

The team decided to make a game about Gollum because the world of The Lord of the Rings was always about ordinary people like Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, who crossed the land and faced their own challenges. So it made sense to use Gollum's unique perspective to illuminate the world without deviating from what made the other protagonists memorable.
