A number of in-game screenshots were revealed. On May 4, 2020, it was reported that the game will be released for Xbox Series X, PC, and PS5. Īrt director Mathias Fischer has noted that the story will include a number of the 'less cool', or less popular, Nazgûl. Gollum was chosen to be the team's own interpretation of the character. On January 6, 2020, senior producer Kai Fiebig revealed that Gollum's character design will not resemble that from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies. Daedalic was able to secure the deal as, according to Daedalic, 'it was clear that the Tolkien Estate looked for a company that was capable of doing something which is more story-orientated than some of the other products that came out over the last years.' The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the first game produced under a deal struck by Daedalic Entertainment and Middle-earth Enterprises. Gollum is able to climb walls and attack enemies from above, but is poorly suited for direct combat. Player choice factors into the game, in a system based on choosing between the 'Smeagol decision' and the 'Gollum decision.' The former tends to be more honorable, while the latter is 'darker.' Various characters are encountered, including some unique to the game itself. Gollum's persona is split between his Gollum self (vicious, villainous) and Sméagol (social, cautious).

It focuses on Gollum, covering his activities from the finding of the One Ring to the timeframe of the early chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a video game based on events set during the timeline of The Lord of the Rings.
