As for when fans can expect the Daedalic Entertainment title to release, no new date has been set. Instead, they left fans with the following message: “We will update you with an exact timing in the near future.”

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced in 2019 and was originally supposed to release in 2021 but was delayed until September 1, 2022. With yet another delay in place, fans just have to wait for what is hopefully the final, locked-in date before they can play it on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
