The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, the upcoming action-adventure game from developer Daedalic Entertainment and publisher Nacon, has been delayed once again. Officially announced in 2019, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was originally set to release in 2021. However, the project ended up being delayed to this fall. Now, the game's release window has been postponed once again, but it's still unclear if it will be released by the end of 2022.
The official The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Twitter account announced today that the game will be delayed by a "few months." The game was set to release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms in early September, with the Nintendo Switch version coming in November. Now, these release dates will no longer be met, with the game having now been postponed to an undetermined release window.
