Precious!
Hamburg, Germany, March 23rd,

that their highly anticipated adventure game, The Lord of
the Rings: Gollum, will release to PC, PlayStation, and
Xbox on May 25th. A version for Nintendo Switch™ is planned for
later this year. Based on the beloved The Lord of the Rings trilogy
by J.R.R. Tolkien, the fantasy game takes players on an epic
journey across Middle-earth, starring one of the lore‘s most
compelling characters: Sméagol— *Gollum, Gollum*.
Check out fresh gameplay from Middle-earth, with
insights from the developers inspired by the iconic lore. Daedalic
and Nacon will stream a special showcase at 06:30 pm
CET on Twitch today.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
is a story-driven action
adventure. Embark on a perilous journey
as Gollum, chasing the only thing that is precious to you. Climb,
leap, and sneak your way past dangers or into advantageous spots.
Gollum is skillful and sly, and torn by a split personality. It is
up to you to decide whether to yield to the darker side of Gollum
or trust the kinder gentler hint of Sméagol.
Co-published by Daedalic Entertainment and
NACON, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is developed
by a small team of passionate Tolkienites at Daedalic Entertainment
in partnership with Middle-earth Enterprises. The game will release
on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and
Nintendo Switch™. A physical edition for consoles will also be
available.
