He jumps between bushes and overgrowth trying to evade other humanoid creatures and <strong>even a dragon<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lord of the Rings: Gollum\u2122 - Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z9ZxyzyiX1E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is based solely on the critically-acclaimed trilogy of novels by J.R.R Tolkien and focuses on Gollum, a personality that Smeagol develops after being <strong>corrupted by the One Ring<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game, therefore, takes place after Smeagol finds the One Ring, but before the events of the Fellowship of the Ring, wherein Gollum undertakes a journey stretching from the Misty Mountains to the outskirts of Mordor to recover his Precious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As is substantiated by the latest trailer, the game will rely primarily on stealth, requiring players to move through the world as silently as possible lest they wish to awaken terrors that seek to stop Gollum in his tracks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game will also feature a rather unique mechanic whereby players will be able to choose whether to<strong> let Gollum take control<\/strong>, or whether they\u2019d prefer the biggest decisions in the game to be made by Smeagol\u2019s kind-natured goodness. Players won\u2019t have to commit to either persona though as they\u2019ll be able to switch between personalities to leverage the differences and unique characteristics and gameplay options associated with each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the publishers phrase it: \u2018In order to survive the dangers of his journey through Middle-earth, Gollum has to sneak and climb and use all his <strong>cunning<\/strong>. He also has to deal with his Hobbit-self\u2014Smeagol. It\u2019s up to the players if they want Gollum to have the upper hand when it comes to making important decisions, or if they prefer to allow Smeagol to take over.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the game was first announced, the powers that be didn\u2019t release much information about it. As time has marched on, however, we\u2019ve seen the release of numerous trailers, promotional content, and extra details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, we\u2019re expecting the Lord of the Rings: Gollum to be a <strong>visually appealing game<\/strong>, with interesting gameplay options and reunions with some of our LOTR characters, as teased by the publishers\/ developers. Provided you\u2019re interested in playing as Gollum\/ Smeagol, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum should be an entertaining experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on September 1st, with a Nintendo Switch port following later in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lord of the Rings: Gollum is slated for a September launch.
