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.

Based on the description of the game (via game’s official website,) and title name, we’re going to assume we’ll be playing as a hobbit in this new adventure.

“Your cozy Hobbit life awaits in Tales of the Shire, a heart-warming, new, The Lord of the Rings game.”

Its first artwork can be found below, courtesy of the official website.

Tales of the Shire currently has a target 2024 release date and will be available on PC and consoles (TBA).

The next Lord of the Rings game slated for release is The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, which is set for release this October 24.
