Lord of the Rings Gollum release date slinks into September

Cans we have a Lord of the Rings Gollum release date, precious? Give it to us raw, and wriggling please Daedalic. You keep nasty summer, autumn is best

We have our eye on the Lord of the Rings: Gollum release date

We come to it at last – Daedalic and Nacon have revealed the Lord of the Rings: Gollum release date, and the stealth game is not only still on track for the year, but it’ll be out in three months’ time. After a few delays – it was originally due out in 2021 – the journey of stinker and slinker is about to kick off.

It’s certainly been a long and winding path getting here. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced way back in March 2019, and other than a few delays and a brief look at gameplay we haven’t heard much about it.

If you weren’t aware, Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an action-adventure game with a focus on stealth, where you play as Sméagol himself. It’s a part prequel to the events of the Lord of the Rings, mostly set around Mordor, and it’s unconnected to the movies or the upcoming Amazon series – so, no Andy Serkis. Daedalic previously confirmed Gollum would slink in around autumn 2022, but now we have a more specific date.

What is the Lord of the Rings: Gollum release date?

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will release on September 1, 2022, on PC and consoles. On PC it will be available on Steam.

Elsewhere in Middle-Earth, the Lord of the Rings Online MMO is doing very well since a load of its expansions went free-to-play, and the team behind the Shadow of Mordor games are working on a Wonder Woman game. We’re still pining for Battle for Middle-Earth 3, of course.
