New details have come to light about the upcoming Lord of the Rings game focused on Gollum. In a FAQ posted on Steam, developer Daedalic answered some of the questions asked most by fans, beginning with the question of if LOTR: Gollum is an official Lord of the Rings game.

It is, the developer confirmed, adding that "all elements" of the title have been approved by Middle-earth Enterprises, the company that licenses the series. Middle-earth Enterprises is also working with Electronic Arts on a new Lord of the Rings mobile game that was just recently announced.

As for the story, Gollum takes place in parallel to the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, touching on events like Gollum's time in Mordor, his capture by Sauron, and his interrogation by Gandalf. "During this time, although very little is known about Gollum's adventures, there was enough to give us an excellent outline and timeframe for the setting," the studio said.
