The Rings of Power is still set for launch on Amazon Prime on September 2, but the series shows no <strong>signs of a delay<\/strong>. That means you\u2019ll just have to wait a little bit longer to see the tainted hobbit run across your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storyline follows Gollum\u2019s escape from the <strong>clutches of the dark lord<\/strong>, that time when he was captured in Barad-dur. Since the deformed hobbit doesn\u2019t have much strength, it entails you using as much stealth as possible to avoid and overcome your enemies. We know he eventually finds Frodo during his search for \u201chis precious\u201d, but we don\u2019t know if the game\u2019s plot will end before then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Lord of the Rings Gollum returns to an unannounced launch date due to delays\" class=\"wp-image-197611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Gollum-returns-to-an-unannounced-launch-date-due-to-delays-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GollumGame\/status\/1551598260732792832\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"only reason\">only reason<\/a> the developer has given for the delay of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is so that they can <strong>deliver the best experience<\/strong>.
