Here’s another appearance at The Lord of The Rings: Gollum

Ahead of its arrival later on this year.

With a number of hold-ups now behind it, a release is lastly in sight for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum – and ahead of its arrival later on this year, designer Daedelic Entertainment has actually shared a fresh appearance at its sneaky action in a brand-new gameplay trailer.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is, if you’re uninformed, creating something of an uncommon course through Middle-earth, taking its wide-eyed lead character on an experience that assures minutes of both “subtle tactical stealth” and “hectic parkour action” throughout a mix of open levels and more direct objectives.

It’s a journey -one set prior to the occasions of The Lord of the Rings, chronology fans – that’ll cover some familiar places, varying from the mountains of Mordor to Mirkwood Forest. And it’s all shot through with an interesting branching narrative aspect that’ll impact gameplay scenarios, discussion, even animations and noise, depending upon whether gamers accentuate Gollum or the Sméagol side of his character.

We’ve had different looks of The Lord of Rings: Gollum given that its statement back in 2019 – plus, Eurogamer’s Victoria Kennedy got to witness a bigger piece of the video game in May in 2015 – and Daedelic’s newest trailer uses a mix of both old and brand-new. Nicely, however, it does (to my eyes a minimum of) look substantially more polished this time around.

How it’ll all come together is anybody’s guess, however I’m confident the uncommon method Daedelic (a studio best understood for its point-and-click experiences) is requiring to Tolkein’s universe – and among its most appealing characters – will settle. All will be exposed when The Lord of the Rings: Gollum releases for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch later on this year.
