Xbox Series S Games Price – Lord of the Rings: Gollum with Elvish

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an upcoming game from Daedalic Entertainment. The game has had quite some controversy since its announcement back in 2019. It follows the story of Gollum, an unusual lead role for a Lord of the Rings game. So, it takes you on a pre-Lord of the Rings adventure that combines stealth and parkour gameplay. It seems to be well worth its expected Xbox Series S games price, or at least until a recent announcement came out.

Xbox Series S Games Price – No Elvish in Standard Game?

So, the fans who want to hear the elves speak in authentic Elvish will have to pay extra. The developer seems to have included this option in the more expensive ‘Precious Edition’ of the game.

Those who do not want to invest in the Precious Edition will have the option to buy the included DLC separately, but the pricing for these is not yet out.

What is the Precious Edition?

The Precious Edition includes four DLC items in addition to the base game. These include a concept art exhibition with 100 pieces, a lore compendium, and an original soundtrack.

The final item of course, is the Sindarin voice acting pack and that is how you get authentic Elvish language. They want to target die-hard fans who want to immerse themselves even more in the world of Tolkien.

The Precious Edition will cost around £10/$10 more than the standard edition, and the standard option will cost £42.99/$49.99.

Many Fans Furious Over the Announcement

The announcement has caused some backlash among fans. They feel that the Elvish language should be included in the standard edition of the game. However, there are some positives to look forward to in the game.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is all about authenticity, and the story is one that enthusiasts will appreciate. The game will be released on May 25th for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5.

Appreciating the Effort from Daedalic Entertainment

Having authentic Elvish language in the Precious Edition shows that the developers are paying attention to the fans’ desires. However, the decision to charge extra for this feature is not faring well with all fans.

However, others do others argue that the inclusion of Elvish language is not essential to the overall experience. So, charging extra for it might be fair and even necessary to some extent.

Xbox Series S Games Price – We’re Staying Positive

Despite the controversy, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is going to be a great addition to the franchise. The game’s combination of stealth and parkour is a far cry from the typical LotR formula.

So, Gollum’s unique perspective on the world of Middle Earth is sure to provide an interesting narrative. In the meanwhile, you can play other cool games that still justify their Xbox Series S games price. Elden Ring seems to be the most appropriate recommendation we can make here.
