Lord of the Rings is one of the biggest names when it comes to Pop-culture significance. Be it JRR Tolkien’s books or Peter Jackson’s films. Both are celebrated considered to be the absolute best. With Jackson’s last film in the trilogy- Lord of the Rings: Return of the King bagging the Best Picture award at the Academy Awards in 2004. This is simply one of the many accolades the films have earned. Though many hard-core fans still believe that the books are the better in any shape or form. I agree with that sentiment, you simply can’t capture the essence of a book into a film. However, the immersive quality books offer is now available through other mediums as well. For instance, gaming. As that actively forces the person to take part in the action rather than being a passive observer.
It seems like Lord of the Rings is heading into the same direction. With the new Amazon Prime Series – The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power just months away from its release, Nacon has planned another surprise for fans. The long awaited game LOTR game titled The Lord of the Rings: Gollum recently gave us a trailer that revealed the gameplay of the game. Off the heels of this great news, the game is reportedly delayed once again.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Delayed Indefinitely?

Today this godforsaken news came to us in the form of The Lod of the Rings: Gollum Twitter account.
