"The Lord of the Rings: Gollum" finally set for May 2023 release with platforming, stealth, and Gandalf gameplay.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum demo at PAX East showed promising elements, but also obvious opportunities for improvement. The game struggled with performance issues throughout the demo, frequently dropping frames and experiencing pop-in with the simplest of tasks such as sprinting or jumping. While the narrative was solid during the cutscenes, the character animations were often ill-timed and awkward, and felt outdated for a game built using Unreal Engine. The environment art appeared quite beautiful in trailers, but the PAX East demo looked very different in terms of performance and graphical quality.
