Daedalic Entertainment has announced a new narrative-driven action adventure game based on the Lord of the Rings universe, called The Lords of the Rings – Gollum. The Lords of the Rings – Gollum promises to stay true to the original metarial and will feature new events and details related to Gollum’s journey.
Daedalic CEO Carsten Fichtelmann said:
“We tell Gollum’s story from a perspective never seen before, in any storytelling medium, all the while staying true to the legendary books of J.R.R. Tolkien. At a time when the games industry is undergoing structural changes and seeing new business models evolve, we are excited to realize a huge new production based on a story that has stayed fresh and relevant for more than 60 years.”
Unfortunately, Daedalic has not released any screenshots or trailer for this new TLOTR game. According to the press release, the game will be using Unreal Engine, is planned for a 2021 release, and more TLOTR games will be developed (as part of the partnership between Daedalic and Middle-earth Enterprises).
Stay tuned for more!

If I wanted another game from the TLOTR Universe I would rather have Monolith working on it, as they had success with Middle Earth.
I expect a flop from Daedalic, as their portfolio is mostly point-n-click games.
Oh damn I haven’t read the article and thought that it WILL be point-and-click game. Which would be dope imho.
Well I don’t expect flop I just don’t know what to expect. They may pull it off.
nevermind i take it back i get it why they’re still in business. Some of you like point & click crap.
Point and click adventure games were first games I ever played since my father was into PCs and we never had a console when I was a kid.
Sure there was Doom and stuff but I was not allowed to play those ofc well and these adventures games had added benefit of always being available in my native language unlike other genres. So before I started learning english they were pretty much only games that I played.
Well hey it’s exactly because of people like you they are trying something new. They had sucess making point and click games but since they are so niche it’s not really much of a success. They wanna appeal to more people.
Well since you put it that way, I feel like I have to justify myself a bit. I don’t know if there are many ppl like me but I studied 6 years architecture and currently work as a senior designer so I look for crispy clean games with great UI and animations on point.
Diablo 3 looked amazing after a decade or more. That’s basically the only P&C game I can think of that looked decent to me.
Let’s not forget Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. But yeah most of their crap is crap. I don’t know how they’re still in business.
They only published that one. So only good game you thought they made was not made by them. Just to destroy any speck of hope you may had for this game 😀 . But again! Maybe they will pull this off!
Yeah maybe, let’s see!
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is also good but super underrated game.
why is this not made by WB?!
Uggh…
oh my fcking god, how the fck do you manage to make such epic universe into a boring 30 iq story game? why are these dumb f4ggets making a game instead of a movie or animation? dense f4ggets never learn the difference between games and movies.
There better be a fish catching mechanic. Raw and wriggling…
why is this not made by WB?
It’s going to get woke, isn’t?
