Private Division and Weta Workshop have released a new trailer for Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game, and it looks absolutely delightful.
Tales of the Shire is described as a “cozy Hobbit life sim” set in Middle-earth, and specifically, the town of Bywater. Weta Workshop’s internal game studio is developing the game, which is set for release in the second half of 2024 on Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
As you’ll see in the trailer, Tales of the Shire invites players to Bywater where they can make friends, decorate their Hobbit hole home, explore the countryside to collect mushrooms, and partake in activities like fishing, gardening, and cooking.
