Gollum publisher Daedalic Entertainment confirms closure of its internal development department and the cancellation of a second The Lord of the Rings game.
Publisher Daedalic Entertainment is closing the Hamburg, Germany-based internal studio that made The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, and has ended development on a second project based on the Lord of the Rings intellectual property, the company has confirmed to Polygon. Daedalic will instead fully focus on its publishing business.
In a statement to Polygon, Daedalic said Gollum “did not live up to the expectations we had for the game,” but added that the publisher will continue to work on another patch for the stealth-adventure game, which it released in May.
