"Give us that, Daedalic my love."
The developer behind 2023's worst-rated PS5 game (so far) has another Lord of the Rings title in development, it seems.

You know you're in a tight spot when you have to break out the Twitter statement.

"The Road goes ever on and on"
Amazon recently announced it would be developing a Lord of the Rings MMO and that it would be coming to PlayStation as well (presumably PS5).

More for background NPCs, not main characters
A piece of DLC for the £54.99/$59.99 version of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum drew some ire this past weekend as it appears to lock Elven voice acting behind a paywall.

News The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Delays the Precious on PS5, PS4 a 'Few Months'
Spit and polish
Let's be honest: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been looking kinda rough, hasn't it? What little we've seen of the game, which casts you as the notorious character obsessed with the One Ring, has appeared to fall short of where we'd expect a game in this franchise to be. While the game was given a 1st September release date not...
