Daedalic Entertainment ends partnership with Sweet Baby Inc after the failure of Lord of the Rings: Gollum

Failed game launch Lord of the Rings: Gollum in 2023 had a major impact on Daedalic Entertainment, leading to the studio's closure and abandonment of its role as publisher. However, this is not the company's only controversial project in recent years. In early 2022, Daedalic Entertainment collaborated with Sweet Baby Inc to work on an indie game Capes, which caused a wave of indignation among fans.

Although in the initial stages Capes received positive reviews, the situation changed after it became known about the connection with Sweet Baby Inc. Fans began to criticize the game, especially for the voice acting, and negative reviews filled the pages of the project. It is assumed that Sweet Baby Inc is responsible for choosing the voice actors, which caused dissatisfaction among the audience.

Against this background, Daedalic Entertainment confirmed the termination of cooperation with Sweet Baby Inc. A company spokesperson and community strategist known as Penta stressed that Daedalic continues to focus on inclusion and equality, but due to the controversy, it will no longer work with this partner.
