![]() ![]() He was originally a Stoor, one of the three breeds of early Hobbits (the other two being the Fallohides and the Harfoots), who favored flat riverside lands and made their living by fishing. The date also lines up nicely with Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings television series.Gollum was born late in the Third Age of Middle-earth, though still hundreds of years before the events of The Lord of the Rings. Daedalic aim to release The Lord of the Rings: Gollum in 2021, on PC and “all relevant console platforms at that time”, which may be a small hint to next-gen consoles being the intention. “Since this is a game about Gollum, if you imagine gameplay, stealth is the obvious choice as opposed to combat with a sword,” Fichtelmann explained in an interview with Daily Star. As such, expect a very different approach to interacting with Middle-earth. Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Daedalic’s CEO and co-founder, Carsten Fichtelmann, explained why Gollum was chosen as a protagonist: “You already have that big conflict in the character, two voices talking to you continuously, which means there is a good reason there are decisions to make in the game: the Smeagol decisions or the Gollum decision.” Fichtelmann explained that Daedalic were able to secure a partnership after “it was clear that the Tolkien estate looked for a company that was capable of doing something which is more story-orientated than some of the other products that came out over the last years.” This may be in reference to Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, two very violent interpretations of Tolkien’s world. Gollum will also be just the first game produced as part of the deal further games are being planned. The project comes thanks to a new partnership between Daedalic and Middle-earth Enterprises the company that owns the rights to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
