The One Ring to Rule Them All hasn’t always been in the most capable of hands. Before Frodo got his mitts on it, Lord of the Rings<\/em>‘ central plot device was living in a cave with a deformed, gurgling monster man who subsisted on a diet of raw fish. And now there’s going to be a game about that.<\/p> German developer and publisher Daedalic Entertainment is working on Lord of the Rings: Gollum<\/em>, which takes place during the years that Smeagol\/Gollum possessed the ring. Daedalic mentions that everything that happens in the game occurs before the events of the Lord of the Rings<\/em> books. It’s billed as an action adventure title.<\/p> Daedalic is best known for point-and-click adventures that focus on story. Daedalic CEO Carsten Fichtelmann explains how the studio’s experience will help with a Lord of the Rings <\/em>game by saying “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 decisions.”<\/span><\/p> Gollum<\/em> probably isn’t Daedalic’s one shot at nailing Tolkien’s universe. Plans for more Lord of the Rings<\/em> games are in the works. However, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum<\/em> will launch first — sometime in 2021 on PC and “all relevant console platforms at that time.”<\/p>
