Their influence on popular culture has been tremendous, so we have to be mindful of players who might only know Middle-earth from the two film trilogies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108409 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1-600x325.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1-1536x832.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What about the story and Gollum himself? &#8220;Gollum\u2019s overall goal in the game?&#8221; adds Wilkes. &#8220;Well, that\u2019s a bit more complicated. Obviously, Gollum wants to escape his captors and retake the Ring (and hopefully get his hands on some nice fish along the way). After some time, though, the Sm\u00e9agol-side causes trouble and distractions and opens up new, conflicting goals that we cannot talk about yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;The Lord of the Rings: Gollum&#8221; is releasing in 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daedalic Entertainment&#8217;s upcoming stealth-based game &#8220;The Lord of the Rings: Gollum&#8221; had its first teaser trailer drop a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39964,"featured_media":108406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1700],"tags":[850,2235,1324,3337,3338],"class_list":["post-108403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-video-games","tag-games","tag-gaming-2","tag-gollum","tag-gollum-game","tag-lotr-gaming"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gollum-Game-Title.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-scr","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39964"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108403"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108416,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108403\/revisions\/108416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
