Hopefully, the game's in a better state now. Earlier this month, publisher Nacon announced an exclusive presentation for its upcoming titles, set for March 9, which also includes LOTR: Gollum. While not explicitly said, the shake-up was possibly attributed to the negative fan reaction to its gameplay trailer, where many called out the game's outdated graphics. Originally set for a 2021 release, the title suffered multiple delays, with the previous developer update stating that it needed more time to ensure an optimised performance at launch. The first is The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from Daedalic Entertainment, which recently received a new release window, alluding to a launch sometime before September, this year. While no exact titles were revealed in the briefing, we're already aware of at least four of them to be in development for a while now. Tolkien, joining its vast catalogue of over 800 owned and controlled properties. Back in August, Embracer Group purchased IP rights to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit literary works by J.R.R. As per the company's latest financial report, all those titles are planned to be released within the next two years - specifically, within the next financial year, which runs from Apto March 31, 2024. Five Lord of the Rings games are in development at Embracer Group.
