Part of the gameplay will also focus on Gollum’s inner battle with his alter-ego, Smeagol. Every action that requires force of some kind will use up Gollum's stamina gauge, so you have to be mindful of the amount of stamina you have left before you leap to do another big climb. As an experienced freestyle climber, Gollum can also jump across platforms, hang from ledges, and fit through tight spots to get away from, or around, his foes. As he can't beat enemies by charging into battle, he has to rely on his ability to feel sounds and see in the darkness to use unlit spaces to curtail his enemies.

The game was then subject to a world-exclusive preview in Edge Magazine in January, which revealed some more details about the story. “Everything that happens to him before he appears in the book are the main things we will see in our game.”

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Daedalic explained that the game will take place in the years following Gollum’s acquisition of the one ring, meaning that it is set prior to the events of The Lord of the Rings.
