Thanks to its central premise and the iconic character it chose to focus on, The Lord of the Rings Gollum has caused quite a stir ahead of the launch and, in view of the imminent release, the developer Daedalic Entertainment has released a new “making of” video that focuses on sthe tormented Hobbit and how the game portrays him.
The developer talks about Gollum’s split personality and his inner conflict and how this will play a big part in the game’s story and gameplayas well as talking about the visual design of the character in the game and how it will differ from the movies.
The traversal and combat mechanics also revolve around Gollum himself – his unique physical properties make the much more agile and snappy characterwhich emphasizes parkour, but relatively less powerful and which favors stealth over close combat.
The Lord of the Rings Gollum will launch on May 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
