The most important information & trailer of the show

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum

Daedalic dares to embark on a major project and wants to make Gollum the star of the new Lord of the Rings adventure. The game is apparently suffering from quite a tumultuous development and has already been postponed, it is now due for release sometime in 2023. After a gameplay preview, we were quite skeptical as to whether it could be anything.

A new trailer was shown at the Nacon Connect, complete with some gameplay and cinematic scenes, which is technically… well, not exactly state-of-the-art. But the video raises questions about the story: Who is the Elven (?) woman who accompanies Gollum?
