The game takes place in parallel with the early chapters of Fellowship Of The Ring, where Gollum begins his escape from Mordor and makes a long journey across Middle-earth to pursue the ring. The trailer shows Gollum exploring the mountains and fortresses of Mordor, as well as the forests and elvish villages of Mirkwood.
