According to a statement posted on Twitter<\/a> by the game\u2019s developers, Daedalic Entertainment, it\u2019ll be releasing \u201ca few months\u201d later, with the exact date coming soon. <\/p>\n Game delays are exceedingly<\/a> common<\/a> these<\/a> days<\/a>, but this does make it so the Gollum<\/em> game won\u2019t be launching alongside Amazon\u2019s Prime Video show<\/a>, The Rings of Power<\/em>, which is premiering on September 2nd. While the show is set long<\/em> before Sm\u00e9agol ever got his hands on the Ring, it\u2019s easy to imagine the game getting a bit of a boost if it came out a day before a blockbuster show from the same franchise. <\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s more important to give developers, QA, and everybody else involved the time they need to do their jobs, rather than hitting a specific release date. If Daedalic times it right, it may even be able to release the game right around when the show is ending; according to WhatToWatch<\/em><\/a>, the first season of The Rings of Power<\/em> will consist of eight episodes, releasing once a week. Either way, if the show\u2019s good (which you\u2019d hope it would be given that Amazon\u2019s spent an astronomical amount of money<\/a> on it), The Lord of the Rings<\/em> could get a few weeks or months back in the cultural consciousness, which Gollum could benefit from.<\/p>\n The game is slated to come out for the PlayStation 4 and 5, PC, Xbox One and Series S \/ X, and Nintendo Switch. Originally, the Switch version was going to come out a few months after the others. Daedalic didn\u2019t immediately reply to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s question about whether the Switch version would be able to launch alongside the others because of the delay or if it would still be releasing a few months later.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking forward to playing as Gollum, you may want to check out the trailer<\/a> that was released earlier this month. <\/p>\n
