NACON AND DAEDALIC ENTERTAINMENT ARE
FORMING A FELLOWSHIP TO PUBLISH AND DISTRIBUTE THE
HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED THE LORD OF THE RINGS: GOLLUM
Lesquin, 26 January 2021 -
NACON and Daedalic Entertainment are pleased to announce that they
have signed a co-publishing and distribution agreement for the game
The Lord of the RingsTM: GollumTM. Developed for
Xbox and PlayStation consoles, Nintendo Switch™ and PC, the
game will be released in 2022.
The two companies decided to join forces to
ensure that the game will meet the expectations of fans of The Lord
of the Rings and fully leverage the power of the new generation of
consoles. The universe will be faithfully represented thanks to
the partnership with Middle-earth Enterprises, the
company that holds the adaptation rights to the novel series by
J.R.R. Tolkien.
As soon as it was announced in spring 2019, the
game generated an enormous amount of attention amongst players and
fans, and achieved a high profile through the first video showcase
last fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPoKVR7dDvI
The Lord of the RingsTM: GollumTM is a
story-driven action adventure. Take on a perilous journey
as Gollum, chasing the only thing that is precious to him. Climb,
leap and sneak your way past dangers or into advantageous spots.
Gollum is skillful and sly, but also torn by his split personality.
It is up to you to decide whether the darker side of Gollum takes
over or if there is a spark of reason left in what once was
Sméagol.
