As promised, the Future Games Show Spring Showcase has provided us with our first glimpse at The Lord of the Rings: Gollum in action. You can check it out above.
Obviously, the trailer is very brief, but it gives us an idea of what to expect from the gameplay. Namely, we'll be doing a lot of crawling. Seriously, it looks like your typical action adventure game, with maybe a bit of a stealth bent to it. There isn't really much more to glean from this, but hey, it's something.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is coming next year. What do you make of this new trailer? Tell us in the comments section below.

Of all the stories of Middle-earth, and all of the characters you could play as...
Boy, this game sure does exist doesn’t it.
As much as I love Middle Earth, this game has still shown me nothing to get excited about.
This was shown a year ago if i am not mistaken?
@BusyOlf Yes, but this clip was shown an hour ago as part of the Future Games Show live stream.
I understand how Gollum feels when Sam cooks the rabbits in his stew. This looks like a waste of the LOTR brand.

Crawling: The Game
This game is a prequel to shadow of mordor which is one of the best games i ever play.shadow of war is amazing also.a new one for ps5 will be amazing
Haha.Word up son😄
Since you play as Gollum, this is guaranteed to be terrible.
It looks alright I guess. It could still be fun, but I'm not expecting anything amazing from this.
This looks like a forgotten PS2 game put on PS4. I'm honestly not sure why this is being made or why it wasn't cancelled long ago.
This looks horendous
Guys, we signed on to make a new a Lord of the Rings action game!
Wowwww...sweet...murmur....excellent...great job
Yeah, so we are going to be making a game about Gollum!

Oh...
Hmmm... yeah strangely, I feel nothing. I’m a huge LotR fan and I’m surprised how little hype this gives me.
More excited about the Harry Potter game, to be honest.
Huh, I thought there'd be more excitement for this! Am I the only one that would love to play as Gollum? Haha! I think he has a pretty good story that could work well in a video game. But I guess it's just me!
@Th3solution
I’m on board with any LOTR IP. Same with Star Wars I guess. Lol.
Harry Potter game looks great too. The controversy is annoying but I’m on board anyhow.
This looks interesting. Obviously will need to see more. Voice is a bit off though
When I saw the name earlier I was not impressed, but I thought maybe they come with something great... Seeing this, I'm not impressed at all. And I have just watched all 3 hobbits and 3 LOTR movies again (and I have read all the books before the movies even came out).
I’ve never watched The Future Games show before and it’s safe to say I never will again. Awful show.
Lol, was this the best last night's show had to offer? What was the point of it?
Wow not digging that gollum voice you ruins it, it should be RAAAAAAAW AND WRRRRRRRRRIGGLING you keep nasty voice acting
Doesn't Gollum start life as an ordinary hobbit? Seems strange not to play through his descent into that creature (though maybe it's just not in the trailer).
What can anyone possibly think is intriguing/amazing about crawling slowly in a straight line? I'm genuinely flummoxed.
Well, that looks rubbish!
This is a weird game but I'm going to keep an open mind. Maybe the story will be really good, respectful of Tolkien's lore and the gameplay more varied than what was shown in the above clip.
Or maybe not, we shall see.
A LotR game made in the same vein as God of War would be amazing. A big open world game set during the First or Second Age could be something special. Playing as Gollum during the timeframe between the end of The Hobbit and the start of The Lord of the Rings?
Weird.
Open mind from me - I personally see it will probably be a very similar style to A Plague Tale: Innocense - stealthy narrative based adventure. If it has an engaging story and plays true to the character and world (looking at you sexy Shelob on Shadow of War) it could be a nice little game.
@playstation1995 how you doin'?...must say I found Shadow Of War to be boring and repetitive beyond belief and not really much to do with LOTR lore at all. It felt like a mobile phone game ported to console
I really hope we play at the start of his transformation. I really wanna bite some riverfolk toes 🤣
@KingPev. Nope dissagree.its a great game.one of the best ever.word up son
@KingPev it reminded me a lot of assassin's creed which is probably why i didn't like it at all either!
@playstation1995 word up son
@Logonogo yep totally ! Hardly anything to do with LOTR but I do love Assassin's Creed games
As a huge middle earth fan and gamer... I'm not touching this game
Yeah no. Not impressed at all, sorry.
Doesn't look like a game for me at any rate. Hard pass.
not impressed so far but keeping an open mind on the end result.
Gollum's design here still looks like a hairless monkey. What's with that PS2 era hair texture too? The rest of the game seems to have good artwork.
But what's your special power here? Arguing with yourself? Being a weak coward? I don't understand the appeal of a stealth game with an unlikeable character we know is a pain in the ass.
Makes me wonder.. who thought this would resonate with gamers? I feel sorry for all the talented programmers and artists working on this future flop.
I'm not passing judgment on this title until we get a trailer that focuses more on the actual gameplay and the story.
