It’s still coming to PC and consoles, including Switch
I’m not sure how much I’m into the idea of a Gollum video game, particularly since thefirst pre-alpha shots came out, but my stance could change with time.The Lord of the Rings: Gollumisn’t launching this year, after all – it’s now aiming for 2022 and Nacon is co-publishing with Daedalic Entertainment.
The companies reiterated that the release plans include PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
From what we’veheard so far,Gollumis a blend of narrative decision making – a battle of wits between his dueling personalities – and slinking around in the shadows, striking only when the coast is clear. I can’t say that sneaky climbing sounds all that riveting to me, but the more choice-based adventure gameplay could turn out well. As for the exaggerated art direction, we’ll see. I’m just not sold yet.
It’s been a wacky run forLord of the Ringsvideo games over the past decade, and I don’t just meanShadow of Mordor. RememberGuardians of Middle-earth? No wonder Chrissticks with the card game.
