The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Gameplay Offers a Glimpse into the Character's Troubled Past

Last month, Game Rant was invited to Daedalic Days 2023, where we got to experience a roughly 50-minute slice of gameplay from The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. This year's focus was on the upcoming game, which is scheduled for release sometime in 2023. During our visit, we sat down with a Lord of the Rings lore expert for a Q&A session that shed some light on the game's storyline.

Developed by German studio Daedalic Entertainment, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum takes an unconventional approach to storytelling by casting Gollum as the protagonist. While this character is far from being the hero of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic tale, the developers have taken it upon themselves to fill in the gaps of his troubled history.

Gollum plays a significant role throughout The Lord of the Rings story, from his initial encounter with the One Ring to his fateful struggle with Frodo and Sam on Mount Doom. As Smeagol, he has become one of the most iconic figures in Middle-earth. In this game, players will get to experience unexplored periods of Gollum's life, delving into the depths of his troubled past.

The gameplay we got to see offered a glimpse into the world of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, showcasing the character's exploration and puzzle-solving abilities. Although the specifics of the game's story remain under wraps, it's clear that Daedalic Entertainment is committed to crafting an immersive experience that sheds new light on this complex and troubled character.

With its unique approach to storytelling and engaging gameplay mechanics, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is shaping up to be a fascinating addition to the Lord of the Rings franchise. Fans of the series will surely be eager to explore the uncharted territory of Gollum's past, and we can't wait to see how this game will unfold when it releases in 2023.
