Daedalic Entertainment Shifts Focus to Publishing, Ends Internal Game Development

Daedalic Entertainment, the developer behind Lord of the Rings: Gollum, has reportedly laid off 25 staff members and will no longer internally develop video games. The company will shift its focus to publishing. Work on a sequel to Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been halted. The game received negative reviews and low sales upon its release. Daedalic's success as a developer came from point-and-click adventure games, but recent attempts to branch out have had mixed results.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dominates UK charts for third consecutive week.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has maintained its number one spot in the UK charts for the third week in a row, despite a 50% sales drop week-on-week. New entries include The Lord of the Rings: Gollum at number six and Farming Simulator 23 at number twenty-one. Minecraft for the Switch continues to fall, likely due to the success of Minecraft Legends, which is currently at number eleven with 87% of its total boxed sales on the Switch.

"The Disappointing Performance of NVIDIA RTX 4080 in Lord of the Rings: Gollum"

The upcoming game, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which leverages ray-traced lighting alongside DLSS 2 and DLSS 3, is not performing well on PC ports. Even the RTX 4090 manages only 48 FPS at 4K ultra (ray-tracing on) in a game that looks mediocre at best. The RTX 4080 is limited to 33 FPS, while the RTX 4070 Ti averages just 26 FPS. However, DLSS 3 ensures that even the RTX 4070 delivers over 60 FPS at 4K Ultra (with ray-tracing).
