Private Division and Weta Workshop are bringing the cozy charm of the Shire to life with “Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game,” set to launch digitally this fall for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam.
Step into the shoes of a Hobbit and immerse yourself in the idyllic landscapes of Middle-earth. Set in the quaint town of Bywater, players will have the opportunity to create their own Hobbit, decorate their own Hobbit Hole, and cultivate relationships with friendly inhabitants.
Experience the simple joys of Hobbit life as you fish in clear ponds, tend to your garden, forage for wild fruits and herbs, and prepare homemade meals to share with fellow Hobbits. With customizable appearances and grid-free placement for decorating, make your mark on the serene homestead of Bywater.
Embark on a culinary adventure with a focus on food, as no Hobbit’s day is complete without hearty meals and gatherings. Host dinner parties, partake in second breakfasts, and forge new relationships through the joy of sharing meals.
Explore the picturesque forests, lakes, and pastures of the Shire, uncovering secret glades and lost treasures along the way. With changing weather patterns and seasonal surprises, each day in Bywater brings something new and exciting.
Join club missions, meet iconic characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved books, and work towards achieving official village status in Bywater. “Tales of the Shire” invites players to unwind in the place where the little things matter most, offering a delightful escape into the heart of Middle-earth.
