For those curious, Wayfinder will not support any user-generated content like in Warframe, but that doesn’t mean the studio is ruling it out entirely, as they plan on following Digital Extremes’ philosophy when it comes to listening and adding community-requested features and feedback.
As part of a live group Q&A session with Airship Syndicate, we asked the team whether Wayfinder would have a system similar to Warframe’s TENNOGEN for user-generated content.
Q: MP1st – Can we expect to see some player-created content of any kind? I know it’s a big thing in the Warframe community with the TennoGen system.
A: AJ Lasaracina (Director of Marketing) – It’s something we’d love to do in the future, but we don’t have any immediate plans for it. It’s it’s complicated in terms of just like how the art style is, as well as the randomization. But we are in talks about how we can bring the community in, as well as maybe some featured artists, we’d love to do that type of stuff in the future. But we don’t have anything immediately planned for any of that.
That’s a jumping-off point to mention that we are fully embracing the DE (Digital Extremes) games as a service idea, specifically around the community and building this game alongside the players. When we release in early access in May, it’s not just this barebones version of the game. It’s pretty system heavy. Like Steve (design director) was saying, we’re trying to figure out what that balance is and how you introduce it. But the idea is that we take that as the foundation and build off it. So we’re really using early access as, hey, this is the game as is, tell us what you want.
And we’ve already done that a lot directly with our really active Discord, talking about some things we’ve added, like Beta rewards, for example, because we’re planning for that, and hey we want this. There’s so much feedback that we’ve already gotten from select people who’ve played the game before betas, they’ve given tons of feedback, and everyone at the studio is open to that feedback. And we are truly building this alongside them, and that’s something that DE did with Warframe and has been really important to us in the relationship for when we first started working with them.
Some background (via Warframe Wiki) for those who aren’t familiar with Warframe’s TennoGen system
TennoGen is a collection of community-created content that are selected by Digital Extremes and subsequently implemented in the Market. These contents can only be purchased with bought Platinum on Consoles, and can only be purchased through the Steam client on PC. Revenue generated from the Market will then be split between Digital Extremes and the creator, with the creator getting 30% of cash revenue
Considering that Wayfinder is currently in its beta stages, with early access dropping this May, chances may be high that we’ll see a lot of the community feedback incorporated when the title launches. Whether we get a system similar to TennoGen may depend on if the community really wants it. In the very least, it’s good knowing that Airship Syndicate is thinking about it.

Ubisoft has unveiled For Honor Year 7 Season 1 “Heresy,” set to launch on March 16. The first season of Year 7 will feature a new “Heresy of the Relics” launch event with a free event pass, an “Inquisitor Yinchen” Hero Skin for the Pirate, a new 100-tier Battle Pass, and more.
The relic-hungry Fanatics in Heathmoor are under assault from the Inquisition, which accuses the former of heresy. The Pirate-turned Inquisitor Yinchen has left the Inquisition’s ranks, seeking to destroy the relics altogether to put an end to the conflict. Pirates can step into her shoes with the new Inquisitor Yinchen Hero Skin, available with the launch of Y7S1 for 25,000 Steel or in a bundle with 7-Day Champion Status and three scavenger crates for $11.99.
From March 16 to April 16, players will be able to participate in Y7S1’s launch event “Heresy of the Relics,” a unique PvPvE game mode where the objective is to conquer zones (which results in a buff for each team member) while fending off both the enemy team and Inquisitor Yinchen.
The Heresy Battle Pass will be available at launch for $9.99, featuring 100 tiers of themed rewards for players. Players looking to quickly advance through the tiers this season can instead purchase the Battle Bundle for $24.99, which includes the Battle Pass and instantly unlocks 25 tiers. More content due for release later in the season and throughout Year 7 will be revealed soon.
Ubisoft’s For Honor is available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Stay tuned here at MP1st for all upcoming For Honor updates and announcements.
Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded officially begins March 15, and Infinity Ward has now revealed all the new content the Season 2 refresh is set to bring to both games. Season 2 Reloaded will feature the new Core 6v6 multiplayer map “Himmelmatt Expo,” Raid Episode 2, a new Operator in TMNT’s infamous Shredder, the new Tempus Torrent Marksman Rifle, Season 2 Camos, a celebration event for the original Warzone’s third anniversary with free rewards, and much more. Read on for the full details of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded’s new content, events, and more.
Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded – New 6v6 Map, TMNT Collab, New Rifle, Raid Episode 2, and More:
Overview:
Raid Episode 02. Take control of Captain Price, Farah, and Gaz as they progress through Atomgrad in search of a deadly warhead.
Himmelmatt Expo Joins the Multiplayer Map Rotation. Deploy to a scenic winter getaway at an exclusive mountain resort in this new Core Multiplayer map.
Celebrate WarzoneTM’s ThirdAnniversary. Celebrate the third anniversary of the March 2020 release of the original Call of Duty: Warzone with free gifts released every few days in the Store.
Earn Season 02 Camos. Continue down the Path of the Ronin with additional challenges rewarding a new event camo for each weapon class.
New Weapon. Take aim with the new Tempus Torrent Marksman Rifle
For fans who grew up with Turtles. What happens when Shredder® from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® is brought into Call of Duty? He definitely doesn’t stop after 22 minutes of televised combat. Get this iconic villain in a new Tracer Pack Operator Bundle and unlock his ninjutsu powers.
Introducing Special Ops Raid Episode 02
Warning: Light Spoilers Ahead! Play the first Raid Episode to get the full context of the story so far!
Continuing the narrative of Atomgrad Episode 01, Captain Price, Farah, and Gaz find themselves at the base of a ballistic missile. It’s their mission to identify and acquire the attached payload, meaning they’ll first need to ascend the interior silo while encountering increasing enemy resistance.
Along the way, these Operators will need to navigate this intricate facility littered with traps, so be prepared to work as a team if you hope to succeed and reap the mission’s rewards.
Complete Raid Episode 02 to unlock the “Bad Boonie” Operator Skin for Captain Price, which can be used across Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 online modes.
No Assignment Necessary
As part of the Season 02 Reloaded update, anyone who owns Modern Warfare IIwill be able to access Raid Episode 1 and Raid Episode 2. There is no Raid Assignment required for access to this tactical team-based experience that continues the story of Task Force 141.
Form your trio of Modern Warfare II players and be ready to deploy with this quick guide to pre-update preparations.
Preparing for Special Ops Raid Episode 02
1. Get your kits in order. Prepare for the challenges ahead by playing Special Ops missions to earn Stars and level up your Kits, which give you more passive and active benefits during Raid Episodes and regular Special Ops Missions. If you already maxed out one Kit, try leveling another to increase your flexibility when approaching future missions. Also, check out the RAID BUNDLE Season 02 for a Special Ops Kit Boost that can help you get those Kits up to an elite standard.
2. Recon out. The Assault and Medic Kits are easy choices when confronting a Raid, as the Assault player can provide armor plates to their team while the Medic revives teammates more quickly. However, the Recon Kit is also just as important. The Kit starts with a Sentry Gun at Tier 3, which is especially valuable for Episode 2. Later abilities include recharging Lethal and Tactical Equipment at Tier 5 and added carrying capacity at Tier 7, which both make this Kit a bonafide utility option for an Operator to complete a well-rounded trio.
3. Revisit Episode 01. Solid communication will take you far when approaching the challenge of a Raid. Work on your comms skills with another deployment to Episode 01, especially on Veteran difficulty (if unlocked).
4. Find Your Task Force. We recommend inviting your two best squadmates in for this infiltration. However, if you are looking to find a new crew or want to play Raids with other Operators who like Special Ops, try using the new Find A Party option to find squadmates that speak your language, whether it’s your actual language over microphones or your preferred playstyle.
Brand-New Core Multiplayer Map: Himmelmatt Expo
Mix business with pleasure at Himmelmatt Expo, a new Core (6v6) Multiplayer map situated on a European mountainside.
Tromp through the snowy streets, past the saunas and pool, and go for a drink — or better yet, a solid vantage point — in the Restaurant & Bar. Head into the main event center to shake off the cold and heat up in battles taking place across the lounge and terrace and in the enclosed theater below.
Deploy to Himmelmatt Expo in featured Playlists for Season 02 Reloaded, as well as within the Quick Play map rotation pool. For those looking to get a deeper dive into this brand-new map, check out the Call of Duty blog’s map guide to Himmelmatt Expo here.
Return of More Multiplayer Party Game Modes, Drop Zone
Following up on the rerelease of Infected, Gun Game, and Grind for Modern Warfare II, Season 02 Reloaded drops three more party modes from Call of Duty’s near two-decade history:
Drop Zone
Capture and hold the Drop Zone to earn points in this chaotic team-based mode. For every 15 seconds that the Drop Zone is occupied, a Care Package containing a Killstreak will be dropped in the vicinity. This makes rotating to the next Drop Zone a high priority so that you can dig in and start earning those packages ASAP.
All or Nothing
Equipped only with Throwing Knives and a pistol with no ammo, each Operator must fight for themselves in a race to earn 20 eliminations. Earn additional Perks by eliminating enemies, starting with the Scavenger Perk to allow for ammo pickups.
One in the Chamber
Load into the match with a pistol, one bullet, and three lives. Each player fights for themselves, and a single shot to any part of the body earns the elimination, granting the attacker one more bullet for the next fight. Try not to miss.
Warzone Third Anniversary Celebration, Free Gifts
To celebrate three years of Warzone, all players will receive free items through the in-game Store that are themed around the maps, seasons, and memories made since its surprise launch on March 10, 2020. These rewards – seven in total – are all free items for those who claim them and include a Weapon Blueprint, Calling Cards and more.
Check the in-game Store daily to claim your rewards throughout Season 02 Reloaded. Here’s to many more years of Warzone!
Path of the Ronin Event Camo Challenges
Whether you’re finished with the journey to Orion or only have a few weapons with Gold camouflage, there are some new Camo Challenges for you to complete with the Path of the Ronin event expansion, available in both Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0.
As part of Season 02 Reloaded, the Path of the Ronin will shift from the Seven Virtues of Bushido to another key aspect of the Ronin: the ability to be deadly with any given weapon. Each weapon category will have a specific challenge attached to it, which can be viewed and tracked through the in-game Event tab.
Completing a weapon challenge unlocks a new camouflage — Winds of Ash — for every weapon in that specific weapon category. Complete all ten challenges to earn another new camo for every weapon — Bowing Blossoms — as well as a golden Charm that represents your dedication to following the Path of the Ronin.
Here are the challenges at a glance:
Assault Rifles: Get 125 headshots (eliminations)
Battle Rifles: Get 75 headshots
Submachine Guns: Get 100 headshots
Light Machine Guns: Get 75 headshots
Shotguns: Get 50 headshots
Marksman Rifles: Get 50 headshots
Sniper Rifles: Get 50 headshots
Handguns: Get 30 headshots
Melee: Get 30 kills from behind
Launcher: Get 40 kills
Although the tasks are straightforward, there are still some things to keep in mind to help you progress more smoothly through the challenges.
1. Two birds, one stone. Smart Operators will see the parallels between these challenges and existing Camo Challenges. If you have yet to complete the requirements to unlock Orion Camo, or have not gotten it on every single weapon, then try to align these event Camo challenges with those for Polyatomic or other Camos on individual weapons.
2. Always carry a Launcher… Regardless of whether there’s an associated challenge or not, it’s always wise to carry a Launcher. Use it to take out enemy aerial streaks like UAVs or VTOL Jets, which can help equalize the match for you and the squad.
3. …Until it’s time for Overkill. Once you’ve got your Pistols, Melee Weapons, and Launchers out of the way, it might be a smart idea to use Overkill to double up on those remaining Primary Weapon categories. Not only does this give you more varied firepower, but it also allows you to work up to two Camo Challenges using the same Loadout. Otherwise, have plenty of alternate Loadouts set up to quickly switch between weapon categories.
Note: As part of the Season 02 Reloaded update, the initial Path of the Ronin challenges will be removed. Complete them before the update to earn all related rewards.
The Crossbow free functional weapon will still be available to unlock via a new weapon challenge in Season 02 Reloaded, which is as follows: “Get 50 Longshot Kills with Marksman Rifles.” Alternatively, a Weapon Blueprint of the Crossbow can be unlocked through purchase of a Store Bundle.
New Weapon: Tempus Torrent
Season 02 Reloaded brings a new Marksman Rifle to the table — the Tempus Torrent. This weapon offers impressive damage and a fast-firing mechanism, making it a great Primary Weapon choice when deploying to the new Himmelmatt Expo Multiplayer map or to Ashika Island.
“This hard-hitting DMR from the Tempus Armament offers the versatility of the M4 Platform and the velocity and impact of 7.62 rounds. A patient hand and keen eye will result in on-target shots and quick kills.”
With a base capacity of 20 rounds, you can afford to utilize its fast fire rate in the heat of battle. Its recoil, though predictable, requires a steady hand, with a quick but noticeable kick up and to the left.
Like the KV Broadside, released earlier in Season 02, the Tempus Torrent has the unique property of being a new weapon on an existing platform from the Modern Warfare II launch. That means most attachments that were unlocked for the M4 Platform can be used on this weapon, so be sure to unlock everything from that platform to ensure maximum versatility when the Tempus Torrent becomes available.
The Tempus Torrent is typically a two-shot elimination unless you can land a headshot up through the midrange. Try pairing it with a short-range weapon — a Sidearm or an SMG or Shotgun using Overkill — for approaching tight areas like the event center.
How to unlock: Weapon Challenge – Get 25 Double Kills with Marksman Rifles – or via Store Bundle.
Shuriken Update
The Shuriken, a new lethal equipment piece that grants additional projectiles in exchange for not being retrievable, is already available in Season 02 through Resurgence game modes on Ashika Island within Warzone 2.0.
However, the Shuriken lethal equipment piece will not be available to be used in Custom Loadouts until after Season 02.
Emperor, Foot Clan Leader, Operator: Shredder Is Coming in Season 02 Reloaded
“The rat is mine.” — Shredder
The man, the myth, the villain.
Making his deadly debut in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic in 1984, Shredder is the notorious leader of the Foot Clan that uses his bladed armor to empower his expert ninjutsu and martial arts techniques. Now he is coming to Call of Duty, ready to slice and dice any Operator who stands in his way of victory.
In addition to the Shredder Operator, this Bundle comes with three Weapon Blueprints, all based on the new weapons from the Season 02 Battle Pass. The first is the “Oroku” Shotgun, which takes the definition of shredding to a whole new level at close range. The other ranged weapon is the “Saki” Assault Rifle, quick on the draw and ready to handle any threats at short- to midrange. And, of course, Shredder does not show up to battle without his “Steel Claws” — use this Weapon Blueprint of the Dual Kodachi swords with Shredder or any Operator to make your opponents taste his blades.
Other Bundle items include a Weapon Vinyl, a Vehicle Skin for the Light Tank, and a Weapon Charm that you can show off to prove loyalty to the Foot Clan.
Additional Bundle Highlights, Including St. Patrick’s Day Festivities
What else is in Store for Season 02 Reloaded? The first-ever Bundles for some Task Force 141 Operators outside of the Vault Edition, a golden opportunity to get a badass weapon blueprint and new Ghost skin, and a Bundle that will more than prepare you for the green rivers flowing in Al Mazrah to celebrate a mid-March feast day.
Tracer Pack: Padraig’s Pandemonium Bundle
Legend has it that in the middle of March, for only a few days, the rivers of Al Mazrah flow green. Some also say a rainbow can be seen over the arid land, with legend foretelling of something truly treasurable – if only for a single match – on the other side.
Whether those rumors are true or not, you should be prepared to deal out some Shamrock & Awe during Season 02 Reloaded with the Tracer Pack: Padraig’s Pandemonium Bundle. Featuring the “Off Kilter” Operator Skin for Conor, the Pro Tuned “Shamrock” LMG Weapon Blueprint with Green Tracer Rounds, and the “Scian” Combat Knife Blueprint, this Bundle has plenty of green and gold for those looking to get into the festive spirit.
Tracer Pack: Bone Chiller
Gold doesn’t just belong at the end of the rainbow.
The new Tracer Pack: Bone Chiller Bundle, arriving in season, features the iconic Ghost in a new “Gilded Reaper” Operator Skin. As the name suggests, this outfits Ghost with a tactical kit featuring a golden mask, something that may just make those other masked Operators like König a bit jealous the next time they have a debriefing… Or your fellow squadmates the next time you infiltrate into Ashika Island, Al Mazrah, or any Multiplayer or Special Ops mission.
In addition to a new Skin, this bundle comes with two Weapon Blueprints, with one being the “Skull Breaker” Assault Rifle outfitted with an awesome golden skull magazine attachment. The other, the “Bone Shaker,” is based on the new rifle released with this update, and is Pro Tuned to get the most out of its offensive capabilities.
There is also a new Finishing Move, a Charm, Vinyl, Loading Screen, and Emblem that rounds out this Bundle.
Generation XRK
Marking the return of the XRK manufacturer, as well as Farah’s first Operator Skin outside of the Vault Edition, the Generation XRK Bundle is a six-item collection of tactical wares for the veteran Operator. Tactical Poncho fans should also rejoice, as this cowl-and-cloak combo is part of Farah’s outfit.
Outfit Farah in a sleek neon-green and black rig with her “Voxel” Operator Skin, then punch through enemy defenses with the “Ectoplasmic” and “Resurge” Weapon Blueprints, pro tuned by the manufacturers over at XRK.
RAID BUNDLE Season 02, Deepwater Bundle
Farah is not the only Task Force 141 member to get a debut Bundle in the Store.
Captain Price is the main headliner in the RAID BUNDLE Season 02, available in the Store, includes the “High Rise” Operator Skin based on his appearance in the Modern Warfare II Campaign.
The Bundle also comes with two Weapon Blueprints, the versatile “Retrospective” Assault Rifle and the silenced “2019” SMG, as well as some other cosmetic items and 10 Stars for each Special Ops Kit.
New to this Season, additional Special Ops Stars within this RAID Bundle – and RAID BUNDLE Season 01 – can advance each Kit up to at least Tier 4 within Special Ops Missions and Raids. Note: player can also naturally earn Special Ops Stars through completing Raids and Missions with Weekly Stars, as well as earn stars through Daily Challenges.
Also, those who already purchased RAID BUNDLE Season 01 will have 10 Special Ops Stars for added to their Kits retroactively. Plus, a reminder to those who did not get a chance to play Raid Episode 01 nor get the RAID Bundle: you can get an Operator Skin for Gaz for completing Raid Episode 01, an additional Operator Skin for him in RAID BUNDLE Season 01, and get a bonus skin for both completing the episode and purchasing the bundle.
Complete Raid Episode 02 and purchase RAID BUNDLE Season 02 to also receive the “Ghillied Up” Operator Skin for Captain Price, in addition to the “Bad Boonie” Operator Skin you earn for completing the episode.
Meanwhile, Ghost will get the “Loch Ghost” Operator Skin as part of the Deepwater Bundle, which also includes “The Depths” Assault Rifle Blueprint and the “Tentacle” SMG Blueprint.
New Social Feature: Party Queuing
Among other technical updates across Modern WarfareII and Warzone 2.0 that all developer studios are working on, there is one notable feature addition that makes it even easier to form parties with friends and competitive teammates
Party queuing allows players to automatically join a friend’s party once they are finished with their active match. Just like inviting friends to a party or channel, you can access party queuing via the in-game social menu.
After selecting the option to party queue, you will wait in the hanger bay pre-match lobby until that specific friend is done with their match, then automatically join their lobby for the next match. While queuing, you can use the voice and text chat with those currently in a match, with all queued players appearing in the game channel member list for all players in said party.
Note that party queuing can cause the current squad to be ineligible to re-que for a playlist if their new party size exceeds the match’s maximum party count (for example: getting a party of five from party queuing after finishing a Battle Royale Quads match). In those cases, you may need to switch to a game mode that can accommodate the new party size, or figure out how to get back to the game mode party size limit.

— The Callisto Protocol (@CallistoTheGame) March 9, 2023
Chances are, this DLC will be released alongside a title update to the main game. If that happens, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
If you haven’t played the horror game yet, go read our review here, where we state, “The Callisto Protocol is a good first shot at terrifying you in space. While not as scary as Dead Space, and lacking the same kind of satisfying combat, there is still fun to be had amidst the sometimes enragingly-unfair fights and odd story pacing.”
Colonel Sanders comes to the rescue once again! For those who don’t feel like pre-ordering the game to gain access to the first open beta set for next week, KFC is giving away Diablo 4 beta access codes to those who order the legendary Double Down sandwich through the KFC app or on the website.
Diablo 4’s open beta is set to begin this month with two phases, the first of which will run from March 17 next week through March 19. Only those who pre-ordered the game were set to receive access to the first phase; that is, until KFC kicked off its new promotional campaign with Blizzard that gives all those who order a Double Down sandwich an access code for the first phase until supplies last. For now, the offer appears to be limited to U.S. audiences.
The offer runs from March 8 through March 18, so those eager to head into the Diablo 4 open beta should probably change their plans for dinner tonight before stock runs out. For those who miss it, there’s always the second phase of the open beta from March 24 – 26, which will be freely available to all those eager to test out Diablo 4 before its launch on June 6.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has reportedly been delayed from its May 26 release date to “later in 2023.” According to the report, the delay comes after Rocksteady Studios’ showcase of the title’s gameplay at the PlayStation State of Play event last month “received negative criticism from fans” due to the online-only requirement and microtransaction system that was revealed during the event.
The report comes from reliable Jason Schreier who says the delay confirmation comes from a person “with direct knowledge of the matter.”
The London-based game developer revealed extensive gameplay footage from its Arkham follow-up Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League at PlayStation’s latest State of Play event last month. A FAQ released at the same time revealed that the game would require players to have a persistent online connection during gameplay, and would feature both cosmetic purchases and a cosmetics-only battle pass in line with most live service games.
That move seems to have greatly soured fans’ sentiments towards the long-awaited Arkham successor, so much so that Rocksteady Studios has now reportedly decided to delay the game from its May 26 release date to an unspecified “later in 2023” launch window. It is not yet apparent what the developer plans to change or adjust within the game to cater to the community, but the delay is a heavy blow regardless for a game so close to release that has already been delayed previously.
We gather, this is one rumor that seems like the real deal. Once WB sends an official confirmation, we’ll update the article.
In today’s Nacon Connect, Appeal Studios has fired out our first look at the Gangs of Sherwood gameplay reveal, and we see how the game will work in four-player co-op!
As the name implies, Gangs of Sherwood is based on an alternate take on Robin Hood. Check out how it plays:
Check out the details about the game straight from its Steam Page that just got updated:
Gangs of Sherwood is a cooperative action game for 1 to 4 players set in the reimagined world of Robin Hood.
Through the powers of the Philosopher’s Stones, the armies of the Sheriff of Nottingham are now stronger than ever, and the people of England have never been so oppressed…
LEAD THE REBELLION
Play as Robin, Marian, Friar Tuck or Little John, four heroes with unique, fully customizable gameplay styles, and set out in search of riches to plunder so you can give them to the poor. From Sherwood Forest to the Sheriff’s flying castle, the way forward is blocked by hordes of enemies. Combine the different heroes’ combat styles to foil the tyrant’s plans and fight performance-enhanced soldiers, formidable war machines and terrifying bosses that you meet as you advance.
ROB THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR… AND TO EQUIP YOURSELF!
Improve your reputation by saving innocent lives and giving your loot to the people in order to unlock new upgrades and even more devastating combos. Spend your remaining gold with merchants to upgrade your equipment and customize your skills to match your combat style.
CO-OP ACTION FOR UP TO 4 PLAYERS
Land more and more impressive combos and cooperate with the other members of your team to achieve ultra-satisfying combos. Meet up with your friends in your hideout and determine the best strategy to adopt before setting off on missions, then put it to the test on the field of battle.
Gangs of Sherwood has no current release date just yet, but is set to be released this Fall 2023 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
At the Nacon Connect event today, Daedalic Entertainment has finally revealed The Lord of the Rings: Gollum’s story trailer, featuring the titular mutated Hobbit as he flees intense prosecution from both sides of the conflict over the One Ring. The trailer features famous characters from Middle-earth and beyond, including Ringwraiths and a particularly angry Gandalf as he interrogates a frightened Gollum.
Watch The Lord of the Rings: Gollum’s story trailer below:
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum features an original story set in Middle-earth, following Gollum (and Smeagol) as he embarks on a journey across the continent in search of his “Precious.” From the game’s Steam page:
Athletic and agile, sneaky and cunning. Driven by the desire to once again hold in his hands what he lost, Gollum is one of the most fascinating characters in the world of The Lord of the Rings™.
He has seen things that others can not imagine, he has survived things that others would not dare mention. Torn by his split personality, he can be vicious and villainous as Gollum, but social and cautious as Sméagol.
While being vital to the story by J.R.R. Tolkien, many parts of Gollum’s quest have not been told in detail yet. In The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ you get to experience this story. From his time as a slave below the Dark Tower to his stay with the Elves of Mirkwood.
Use stealth, agility and cunning to survive and overcome what lies ahead. Climb, leap and grapple your way past dangers or into advantageous spots.
While Gollum might not be a fighter, it is not unlike him to assassinate a careless enemy when the chance presents itself – or dispose of them in more creative and villainous ways.
The decisions you make and the way you play have a direct influence on Gollum’s personality: Always struggling between the two sides embodied by Gollum and Sméagol, it is up to you to decide whether the darker side of Gollum takes over or if there is a spark of reason left in what once was Sméagol. One mind, two egos – you decide!
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum still has no definite release date, but is set for a launch at some point later in 2023.
