Tolkien fans rejoice, as your precious is here.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
is now available for Windows on the
Humble Store* and
Steam, and presumably soon on the
Epic Games Store and
GOG.com.* This is
also available for Xbox and PlayStation, with a Switch edition expected later
this year. Here's the
Launch
Trailer and a bit on the possibility the game holds a redemption arc for
Sméagol:
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a story-driven action adventure
set in the world of the novels. Embark on a perilous journey as Gollum, chasing
the only thing that is precious to him. Climb, leap, and sneak your way past
dangers or into advantageous spots. Gollum is skillful and sly, and torn by a
split personality. It is up to you to decide whether to yield to the darker side
of Gollum or trust the kinder gentler hint of Sméagol. Travel from the depths of
Mordor to the beautiful realm of the wood elves and meet compelling characters
both familiar and new in a story steeped deep in the lore of Middle-earth.
