Developer Wētā Workshop has announced that Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game has been delayed to early 2025. More details about the game and its new release date will be shared during Wētā Workshop’s Hobbit Day Showcase on September 22.
Tales of the Shire is an upcoming cozy life sim, where players can discover, decorate, and live out a quiet Hobbit life as they play a part in helping a quaint town flourish. Many of the mechanics found in today’s cozy games will be present, with a Hobbit twist, of course.
All of us here at Wētā Workshop are excited to have you join us in the Shire, a peaceful corner of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world. When a new Hobbit steps into Bywater for the very first time, we want that moment to be everything you’re hoping for.
To ensure we deliver that vision, Tales of the Shire will now be launching early 2025.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. Be sure to tune in to our A Hobbit Day Showcase on September 22nd to learn more about Tales of the Shire and our new release date.
