The Interim Worst Game of the Year had a modest budget. Lord of the Rings: Gollum created by a german studio Daedalus Entertainment for 15 million euros. Also, the publisher has modest goals (to sell 1 million copies within a year), but he wants to launch two more games set in Middle-earth.
Daedalic is working on one again, and he should also present this fascinating fantasy world from the point of view of a character who hasn’t had his own story yet. Do you have any advice? Either way, this should be a codenamed 3D action adventure. It `s Magic and should transport the player to a lush world full of mythical creatures and magic.
The German government allocated 2 million euros for the development. They say that this is a project that is being created from 01/06/2022 to August 2024. Thus, its release is scheduled for the second half of 2024.
“He tells the story from the point of view of a character that hasn’t been here before. The player opens up completely new areas and influences the world connected by his role and abilities. Player [se] they are trying to influence events and change the fate of the world in their own way,” we’ll find out. The description and working title suggest that the title may have been dedicated to one of the wizards.
Let’s go back to Gollum. Alain Falk, head of publishing company Nacon, told the French LesEchos that the main reason for the many delays was unsatisfactory state of graphics. Which is scary given how the game looks today, two years after the first delay.
Nacon bought Daedalic early last year for 53 million euros. If 15 million euros doesn’t sound like a lot to you, it’s a lot for Nacon, two years ago their game budgets averaged 2 million euros. Now it’s all over 5 million euros. This company focuses on AA degrees. We can call Steelrising, The Sinking City, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr or Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter. Until this year, she also had a WRC license.
Meanwhile, the developers apologize for the poor state of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum and they promise repairs. In a statement, they speak of a disappointing experience and that the game did not live up to the expectations placed on them.
“Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment this may have caused” they stated. They are currently working on fixing game bugs and technical issues. “We are committed to providing you with fixes that allow you to fully enjoy the game,” they added.
