We'll finally get to see the first ever gameplay footage of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum during the Future Games Show pre-show next week.
Publisher and developer Daedalic Entertainment has been confirmed as The Future Games Show pre-show partner, meaning that those who tune in to the showcase a bit earlier will be treated to a 15-minute showcase of seven upcoming titles from Daedalic, including the world premiere debut of Gollum gameplay footage.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an action-adventure game, and will be a canonical story in the Middle-Earth mythos. It follows the titular creature after he discovers The One Ring, set before the events of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The game was initially due to release in 2021, but has since been delayed until 2022.
