PlayStation 5 first game 'revealed' - and it's perfect for Lord of the Rings fans

It’s been almost three years since Sony launched its last PlayStation console, and unsurprisingly fans are keen to see what it has in store next.

Now, despite knowing little about the PlayStation 5 itself, we may know the console’s first game.

Daedalic Entertainment has announced that it’s developing a new game called The Lord of the Rings: Gollum , that’s set to launch in 2021.

This just happens to be the same year the PlayStation 5 is expected to be unveiled.

Sony PS5 could arrive THIS YEAR as company says PS4 is at the end of its life  

The developer has fuelled the PS5 rumours further, saying that it will launch on ‘all relevant console platforms at that time.’

The game itself is a narrative-driver action adventure that tells Gollum’s story.

Carsten Fichtelmann, CEO at Daedalic, said: “We tell Gollum's story from a perspective never seen before, in any storytelling medium, all the while staying true to the legendary books of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Could this be what the PS5 looks like?

“At a time when the games industry is undergoing structural changes and seeing new business models evolve, we are excited to realise a huge new production based on a story that has stayed fresh and relevant for more than 60 years.”

Unsurprisingly, Sony is yet to comment to the rumours. Watch this space though!
