Here's What We Know
In the announcement, the developers said that they needed more time to ensure that "every hobbit, regardless of platform, has the same enjoyable experience". They want the game to feel like a warm hug from Middle-earth and to make you feel like you're in the Shire wherever you play.
Here's What We Know
The game was announced in September 2023. This is a hobbit life simulator set in Bywater, a part of the Shire. Players will be able to customise their own hobbits and take part in various activities, such as home decoration, cooking, fishing, gardening, or farming.
Where To Play
Upon release, Tales of the Shire will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
