Action-adventure game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum slated for 2021 release
Daedalic Entertainment, developer of series like Deponia, The Dark Eye, and more, will be working on a new The Lord of the Rings game. This will be the first entry in a planned series of games set in the Lord of the Rings universe, through a partnership with Daedalic and Middle-earth Enterprises. Titled The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, it'll be an action-adventure game which focuses on the titular character after they've acquired the One Ring, but prior to the events of the Tolkien novels. The release window is still a ways off, with the game scheduled for a 2021 release, "on all relevant platforms at that time".
“Our goal was to present a storytelling experience. About four years ago, I caught Middle-earth Enterprises in Berkeley, maybe like Peter Jackson did 20 years ago, and I said we’re interested in licensing Lord of the Rings,” Fichtelmann says of the formation of the partnership. "After some negotiations, it was clear that the Tolkien estate looked for a company that was capable of doing something which is more story-orientated than some of the other products that came out over the last years."
