In the news of Gollum, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, the game where you go around like a little monster, now has a release date.
Previously, the horrible goblin being was supposed to live on our computers and consoles in 2021. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances involving Gollum’s violent IBS, the game was delayed.
Fortunately, we now know that we will be able to adopt Gollum into our homes and take good care of its small and dirty on September 1, 2022.
Gollum’s search for his precious one will begin on September 1, 2022!
It will come to PCs and consoles and later to Nintendo Switch. # GollumGameđź’Ť pic.twitter.com/52IL0kp0oH

The game, as described by its creators Daedalic Entertainment, will be a “story-based action and adventure” game with stealthy elements.
The “stealthy elements” make more sense to me, as I can’t imagine this little loser not being absolutely ruined by literally anyone that exists on Middle-earth.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will not be based on the Peter Jackson films, but will take its influence directly from JRR Tolkien’s books. The game will follow Gollum as he tries to get his hands on the ring he loves so much.
There will also be times when the player will jump between Gollum’s mind and his best half, SmĂ©agol.
As stated in the tweet, the Gollum game will be available on September 1, 2022 on PCs and consoles, but unfortunately does not have a release date set on the Nintendo Switch.
There seems to be an ongoing trend with games being released on all available consoles, as Dying Light 2 on Nintendo Switch was also delayed to a later date.
I guess the Switch won’t have “the precious one” at the moment. Is this something?
