Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game: Everything we know so far

Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game is due out some time later in 2024. We break down everything to know about the game so far.

In an interview with Nerd of the Rings, the game’s art director Steve Lambert has said that Wētā really refocused its lens on Tolkeins’s world to create Tales of the Shire, taking inspiration from childhood memories of how it felt to read The Hobbit. We haven’t seen the character creator in any detail yet, but expect a variety of brightly colored clothes, Hobbit feet, and smiling faces to choose from. It seems like Private Division and Wētā Workshop are going for broad appeal and the game will be available on all modern platforms including Nintendo Switch, PC (through Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
