Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game Is a Hobbit Life Sim and Arrives Later This Year

Back in September, Weta Workshop along with Private Division, announced “Tales of the Shire,” which is a game based on The Lord of the Rings media property. Today, we now know what the game is about, as a new trailer alongside game details have been shared.

Officially titled “Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game,” this is a huge departure from past games based on the license, as this one is all about that hobbit life! Yes, instead of a normal action game, this one is a “Hobbit life sim” set in the Middle-earth universe!

“From Wētā Workshop, known for their work on the world of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game invites players to experience the storybook return of living life as a Hobbit in the idyllic town of Bywater. Unwind in the breathtaking pastures, visit the townsfolks’ local shops, or even enjoy second breakfast. Help bring the community together and achieve official village status by throwing the greatest Bywater Festival the Shire has ever seen.”

For those tired of killing orcs, having to deal with Saruman and Sauron, but a fan of The Lords of the Rings property, then this might be the game for you! I mean, Hobbits live a very relaxed and comforting life, and I couldn’t think of another character that would have an interesting life sim than that, no?

No release date is set for Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game, but it’s confirmed to be headed to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC this summer.
