In partnership with Private Division, Wētā Workshop has announced Tales of the Shire, a brand-new  The Lord of The Rings adventure.

Described as a cozy and heart-warming adventure, Tales of the Shire is a new Lord of The Rings set in the Middle-earth universe. Little is known about the title, though the team released a short teaser video.
