Not much is currently known about the title, which has a distant 2021 release window, but Carsten Fichtelmann, CEO of Daedalic, recently spoke to PC Gamer about the project.

Fichtelmann let slip a few details during the interview. It's an action-adventure title set before the events of the books and the split personalities of Gollum/Smeagol could play a major part.
"When you look at our history with storytelling games, it was obvious that we needed to do something where the protagonist has a conflict going on," said Fichtelmann.

"This is also something you'll play in the game. You'll come to decisions you have to make, and you'll have the two voices talking to you. He may change his mind, and this is a clue about how it will play."

As Warner Bros. own the film rights, Andy Serkis won't be reprising his role as the pint-sized pest. This Gollum could be very different, as the developers are "telling his story before we learn about what happens to him in the books. So it's definitely new content that we'll see."

Are you interested in exploring more of Gollum's story? Let us know below or over in the forums.
