If you were hoping to search for the precious this fall, there’s some bad news.
On Monday, Daedalic Entertainment and Nacon announced that Lord of The Rings: Gollum has been delayed indefinitely.
“During the past several years, the team has been working hard to share our vision of a remarkable story, set in a breathtaking world, filled with magic and wonder,” reads a statement on Twitter. “We are dedicated to meeting our community’s expectations and uncovering the untold story of Gollum in a way that honors the vision of J.R.R. Tolkien.”
“That being said, in order to deliver the best possible experience, we have decided to push the release of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum by a few months,” the statement continues. “We’ll update with an exact timing in the near future.”
It’s a surprising move, only because the publishers recently made a release date announcement. We can only speculate about why the game is getting delayed, though the most recent trailer’s not-so-glowing reception could have had an impact.
For several reasons, many fans don’t have a good feeling about Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Hopefully, things will turn around with that extra development time. It’s been a hot minute since there was an excellent Lord of the Rings title, so fingers crossed that this isn’t disappointing.
