The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was one of the first games officially announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, and was supposed to launch around the same time as the new consoles before several delays changed those plans a lot. The wait will soon be over, however, as we finally have a launch date that I highly doubt will be pushed back.
Daedalic Entertainment and Nacon have released a nearly 40-minute gameplay showcase for the game, and it ends by revealing that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will release for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on May 25. Nintendo Switch owners will have to wait “later in 2023”.
As for the gameplay itself, we’re shown different parts of the game with a heavy emphasis on traversal and stealth in what you might call old-fashioned environments that are very reminiscent of classic platformers.
We’ll see if that’s interesting enough for many gamers in the same month as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and shortly before the release of Street Fighter 6, Diablo IV, and Final Fantasy XVI.
