The lack of any word from the game’s developers is pushing some gamers in a more cynical direction, however, with rumors spreading that the game won’t ever see a release.

If the game was still expected out in 2022, we’d surely have an update by now, which is pushing many to think Gollum won’t hit shelves until 2023 at least. With no updates on a further delay, however, fans aren’t really sure what to think.

With only a handful of weeks left in the year, and no fresh announcements from Daedalic Entertainment - the developer behind the upcoming game - that 2022 release seems less and less likely. Despite the lack of a clear release date, the game was expected to drop at some point in 2022. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, Gollum - like so many other projects - was delayed, leaving eager gamers with a hazy release window.

A video game based around the vital Lord of the Rings character was first teased back in 2019, with a 2021 release date initially promised to fans.
