The game is officially described as:
The Lord of the Rings: GollumTM is a story-driven action adventure. Take 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, but also torn by his split personality. It is up to you to decide whether the darker side of Gollum takes over or if there is a spark of reason left in what once was Sméagol.
With two publishing giants behind the project, we can expect the work on The Lord of the Rings: Gollum to speed up and finally see it coming out in 2022. Additional details about the game will be detailed later along with a confirmed release date. Gameplay from the game is also yet to be revealed and we cannot wait for it.
