Tales of the Shire is a Homely Hobbit Life-Sim

Private Division and Wētā Workshop just unveiled Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game, coming to PC and consoles later in 2024.

Middle Earth isn’t all dark magic and Orks. Players looking for some time away from the field of battle will be able to put down the world ending jewellery and cook up a second breakfast instead. Private Division and Wētā Workshop will release Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in the second half of 2024. The newly announced life sim will take players on a small but mighty adventure as they explore the quitter side of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

A Life in the Shire

Create your own Hobbit for this new adventure, picking from a range of models and customizations. Take to the hedgerows and gardens of a smaller world and build a cosy homestead. Furniture choices, home décor options, and color swatches are all crucial to completing a welcoming ambiance for visitors, while you get on with the cooking. Farming, fishing, and foraging can all rustle up ingredients for the pot. Toss your lure to catch trout from the glistening waters of Bywater Pool, gather wild mushrooms, and more. Creating a fantastic meal is sure to be a great way to begin any day, as you head out into the idyllic town of Bywater,

If you love the likes of Animal Crossing and Rune Factory, or just want to get away from the Shadow of War, then check out the gorgeous Tales of the Shire announcement trailer and prepare to relax later this year.
