In January, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum announced it'd been picked up by publisher Nacon. It simultaneously announced a delay, pushing it from 2021 into a 2022 launch window. Today, however, Gollum shows signs of life. Sort of. The scurrying little dissociative identity disorder-having fella gets a familiar cinematic teaser. In fact, this is just publisher Nacon posting the exact same cinematic teaser that developer Daedalic released seven months ago.
