Daedalic Entertainment Halts Internal Development Following Troubled Gollum Release
German publisher Daedalic Entertainment is ending all internal development following the troubled release of Lord of the Rings: Gollum. The company will now focus on publishing, licensing, sales, and marketing. At least 25 employees are affected by the decision, and Daedalic will support them in finding new opportunities. The game, which received negative reviews, is currently the lowest rated game of the year on both Metacritic and OpenCritic. Daedalic apologized for the underwhelming experience and pledged to improve the game through future updates.
