Daedalic continued: “Our development team has been working diligently to address the bugs and technical issues many of you experienced. We are committed to providing you with patches that will allow you to enjoy the game to its fullest potential.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was released on May 25, 2023, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch version is currently in development.
The game has been receiving scathing criticism for its buggy quality, muddy graphics, and middling gameplay. In IGN’s The Lord of the Rings: Gollum review, we said, “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is filled with dull stealth, bad platforming, and a pointless story, and does little to justify why anyone should take the time to play it.”
