While this isn’t a wholly groundbreaking concept, with all the information available on both Gollum and Smeagol in the legendarium, there could be plenty of surprises in store. (Parkour: When crabwalking through mud isn’t enough.) Of course, stealth comes with built-in risks-sometimes there’s no escape to be had on the ground and Gollum has to climb and shimmy his way above enemies, careful not to run out of stamina before he’s in the clear. Though The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced in 2019 as an action-adventure game, developer Daedelic ( Shadow Tactics: Blaze of the Shogun, Deponia) now describes it as a “story-driven action RPG.” Gameplay trailers show a variety of stealth sequences not dissimilar to the stealth sequences popularized by game series like Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, and Uncharted. Now that we’ve mythmooted, we’re ready to break down what we know about the upcoming games.

(Take a minute to just say “Mythmoot” over and over. We’ve got some yummy morsels of promotion in the run-up to Gollum’s release-the President of Signum University (known by Tolkien fans the world over as “The Tolkien Professor”) had some interesting things to say about both games when interviewed at Mythmoot, the yearly conference hosted by Signum to cover all things Tolkien.

My personal favorite niche is (of course) the vidja games, and we don’t need to wait for new projects to get excited there! Two games are hitting us soon: Gollum this fall, and Return to Moria sometime next year. With the rights to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and related works in Tolkien’s l egendarium once again up for grabs-and the approach of Amazon’s Rings of Power series on the horizon-there are even more niches than usual to dig into for fans of the ol’ J.R.R.
