Daedalic Entertainment Cuts Staff and Halts Lord of the Rings Game Development

Daedalic Entertainment, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, has reportedly laid off around 25 employees and canceled a second Lord of the Rings game in development as part of its decision to exit game development and focus solely on publishing. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum received negative reviews upon its release last month. Daedalic, known for its point-and-click adventures, has struggled to find success in recent years with other game releases.
