Daedalic Entertainment and Nacon announce that they need more time to work on The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. All they said was that the game has been delayed by "a few months" in order to give the game some more polish. This marks at least the second time that the game has been delayed.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced back in March 2019. At that time, it was planned for release in 2021. Following an agreement with Nacon, Gollum was delayed until 2022. It was anticipated that it would be out on September 1, 2022 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. A Switch release was also planned for November 30, 2022.
Given that this delay is for "a few months" it's probably a safe bet to say that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum won't be out until early 2023 at best.
Today's full statement from both companies can be found below.
