Per crystal-ball, this is all future stuff. Who knows what may happen, and when - this is not encyclopedic. Best to wait until there is something definite, as always. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not yet published game Per - wait till its published, or closer to that time - WPcrystal-ball Deathlibrarian (talk) 10:22, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not yet published; references are insufficient, and, WP is not a crystal ball. -- Whiteguru (talk) 10:52, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:45, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge cited content to the developing company. --Izno (talk) 14:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd actually have to say Keep, as more can be said about the game beyond its announcement. IGN details with game's narrative designer, Eurogamer on some art direction, and as there was more discussed this weekend (via virtual Gamescom) more may come this week. We have a publisher-planned release window of next year as well, and know the game has been in the works (this isn't some yet-to-be-started project). (If we didn't have any in-depth coverage of the type of gameplay, and just teaser trailers, merging would be better) --M asem (t) 14:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the sources Masem showed. The article is currently very underdeveloped, but there are in-depth sources available.--AlexandraIDV 16:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * To further elaborate: Crystalball does not prohibit articles about planned or expected future events (Heat death of the universe, Eurovision Song Contest 2021), so long as they are backed up by sources, aren't original research, and are phrased appropriately. This is not a case of "I think it's likely that a Gollum game will happen, so I'm going to write an article based on my speculation and present it as fact".--AlexandraIDV 07:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the IGN and Eurogamer articles. Eurogamer's is particularly focused on a small detail (Gollum's hair), so it's clear that there is interest in the upcoming game. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:41, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's upcoming, sure. But nothing here fails WP:CRYSTAL, as none of it is unverifiable speculation. The articles in IGN and Eurogamer, both reliable sources, are enough for a GNG pass. Devonian Wombat (talk) 04:00, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
