The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is based on the legendary The Lord of the Rings trilogy of books by J.R.R. Tolkien, and tells of Gollum’s experiences from behind-the-scenes in the first chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring.

The game is coming out on September 1st for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, , PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Switch owners needing to wait a little bit longer on it.
