Oh no, Daedalic is engaged on one other Lord of the Rings recreation – WGB, House of AWESOME Opinions

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been a catastrophe so far, turning into the worst-reviewed recreation of the 12 months on each Opencritic and Metacritic. I’ve it sitting in my Steam library and intend on reviewing it myself, however after looking via the varied opinions of different individuals, I could select to maintain my sanity intact, thanks so very a lot.

The discharge has gone so badly that Daedalic needed to reply, taking to Twitter.

“We wish to sincerely apologize for the underwhelming expertise a lot of you could have had with The Lord of Ring: Gollum upon its launch,” stated Daedalic.

“We acknowledge and deeply remorse that the sport didn’t meet the expectations we set for ourselves or for our devoted neighborhood. Please settle for our honest apologies for any disappointment this will likely have precipitated.”

Sadly the apology could also be too late as a result of just like the One Ring itself. evidently taking part in Gollum has a corrupting affect that leaves the sufferer a frail shadow of their former selves.

However it seems to be like they have already got a second Lord of the Rings undertaking within the works, scheduled to return out in 2024. The information comes by way of a German web site (and delivered to my consideration by Com_Raven on Reddit) that famous Daedalic was listed as having been granted a subsidy by the German authorities to help within the growth of a second Lord of the Rings recreation, codenamed “It’s Magic.” Magically pants, maybe.

The itemizing describes the undertaking thusly: “Daedalic is engaged on a brand new undertaking that can transport the participant right into a lush world stuffed with legendary creatures and magic. It tells a narrative from a personality’s perspective that has by no means been informed earlier than. The participant discovers fully new areas and influences the occasions of the world inside the scope of his function and his talents. In his personal manner, he tries to affect the course of issues and alter the destiny of the world. This undertaking is geared toward avid followers of the fantasy story and 3D action-adventure genres all over the world.”

In keeping with the identical itemizing, the corporate has been awarded a subsidy of simply over 2.03M Euro.

Fairly frankly, given how badly Gollum has been acquired by critics and most of the people, the truth that Daedalic is already engaged on a second recreation reads extra like a menace.

Hopefully, Daedalic can really flip this catastrophe round and produce one thing worthy of one of many biggest fantasy sequence ever Or failing that, possibly they might give us a enjoyable little sim the place you play as a Hobbit operating a mattress & breakfast & 2nd breakfast?
