Uncover a Delightfully Immersive Hobbit Paradise in the Upcoming Lord of the Rings Game

Wētā Workshop and Private Division are teaming up to bring fans a new and delightful Lord of the Rings game. Although details are scarce at the moment, the game will revolve around the beloved hobbits and their charming lifestyle.

Introducing "Tales Of The Shire," the game was announced with a captivating teaser trailer featuring beautiful artwork and a distinctive logo. The teaser depicts a woman skillfully watercoloring a picture of a hobbit amidst a cluttered desk adorned with tools, artwork, and plants. As she finishes her artwork, she steps away from the frame and opens a door, inviting a refreshing breeze, warm light, and the cheerful sounds of children's laughter and birdsong. The wind playfully flips through the pages of a book, revealing more captivating artwork showcasing hobbits and their cozy holes, before finally closing to reveal the game's logo.

Speculations are abound regarding the nature of the game, but it is not difficult to envision a farming simulation akin to Story of Seasons/Stardew Valley. The teaser artwork depicts hobbits, yet it remains challenging to positively identify any of them as specific characters from LotR. However, the teaser does mention notable Shire locations such as The Green Dragon and Bywater.

Scheduled for a 2024 release on console and PC, Tales Of The Shire promises to be an exciting adventure. Further details will be unveiled in the coming year. To stay updated on announcements, you can now follow the game on Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
