Lord of the Rings: Gollum- Reveals the first Screenshots of the next Generation Game Emerge

A year ago, we got the official word of a Lord of the Rings: Gollum game from the developer, Daedalic Entertainment. Details on this new game are limited yet the official screenshots are enough to give a description to this game.

Originally published by German site Gamestar, the screenshots were a part of a bigger preview of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. It had been documented that Gollum wouldn’t be supported on Peter Jackson’s trilogy and imagining of the character. However, the screenshots which have popped up, show certain resemblances with the trilogy like longer-hair and shinier-skin. Seems that Gollum is well moisturized!

Lord of Rings: Gollum Set of Screenshots

11 screenshots have been published altogether. Most of them feature Gollum and the game’s environments. Lord of the Rings: Gollum can be described as an “action sneaking game,” which makes tons of sense as long as Gollum spends a big portion of The Fellowship of the Ring stealthily trailing the Fellowship on their quest. There is a touch of cartoony, comic quality to the game than we have seen from Monolith’s Middle-earth games in recent years. Take a look at the screenshots-

Although there’s not much information regarding the mechanics, from the screenshots its evident that there is some good portion of stealth, along with some nimble navigation of darker region of Mordor’s mines and forges. There is a glimpse of lush New Zealand green in there too (albeit with some giant spiders lurking at the rear of the frame).

Lord of the Kings: Gollum Release Date

For the time being, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is announced for a release in 2021. The game is going to be available to PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5.

As a prequel to The Lord of the Rings, it takes place before Gollum encounters Frodo, although exactly what he gets up to during this game remains a mystery. The abundance of spiders within the screenshots might suggest an encounter with Shelob. Keeping that in mind, these screenshots could alright be the sole thing we see from this game for a short time yet.

This game is predicated entirely on the Tolkien books instead of the films. It isn’t the sole adaptation within the works, with Amazon’s prequel TV series on the way for a minimum of two seasons. Ensure to watch the inside Xbox, streaming live on May 7 for getting an idea about the upcoming next-gen games.
