The Lord of the Rings: Gollum follows, well who else… Gollum, and Smeagol, for those not familiar, the title character has split personality after being consumed by the power of the One Ring and taking ownership of it, torturing his mind. Daedalic Entertainment has filled in the gaps with their stealth game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Anyone who’s seen the movies is familiar with Gollum’s part in the stories of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films, but not about what happened to him between the events of the two film series.

Aragorn's inclusion in the game could also help support the developer's statement, provided by publisher Nacon, that Gollum had been everywhere and met everyone in The Lord of the Rings universe.įans of the films will still likely be interested in seeing this part of the Ring's history, however, as all of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's confirmed characters are also featured in the films, and given how closely the films generally follow the story of the books, Gollum's journey will remain interesting, potentially leading all the way to his following the Fellowship at Moria - though the extent of the story isn't yet known. In any case, no likenesses of the film's cast appear to be used in the game, leaving it likely that, though nothing is yet known for sure, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is mostly based on Tolkien's original - possibly also posthumously published - work.Out of all the character-rich world of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings that are deserving of a game, the last individual you would expect would be the former Hobbit turned ghoul, Smeagol, or as he’s known by his more nefarious nickname/personality, Gollum, who is reviled in the books but was sort of a fan favorite in the Peter Jackson films thanks in part to the talent of Andy Serkis who voiced, and motion captured the character. According to Tolkien's writing, some time after Gollum's release from Mordor, Aragorn finds Gollum and decides to bring him to Mirkwood to be a prisoner of the elves there.

If the game does follow the narrative of 'The Hunt for the Ring,' as its Steam description implies, it's imperative for fidelity and fan enthusiasm to have Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.
