The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Release Date
As you can see in the above gameplay trailer, The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum promises to be a much more subdued look at The Lord Of The Rings universe.
Lord Of The Rings: Gollum is a story-based action RPG in which you play as the titular Smeagol, sneaking your way through the action happening throughout Middle Earth itself. When compared directly to the previous Lord Of The Rings title, Middle Earth: Shadow Of War, it’s an extreme departure, featuring none of that game’s signature stylish combat or gameplay mechanics.
