Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game Delayed to Early 2025
Weta Workshop has announced that Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game has faced a delay. Instead of launching this year for Xbox Series X/S, PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, it will arrive in early 2025.
The developer recently said on Twitter, “All of us here at Weta Workshop are excited to have you join us in the Shire, a peaceful corner of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world. When a new Hobbit steps into Bywater for the first time, we want that moment to be everything you’re hoping for.”
To “deliver that vision”, the team will require some extra time. Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait too long for a new release date as A Hobbit Day Showcase has been announced for September 22nd, 10:30 AM PT. Weta Workshop will provide new details on the title alongside its “new release date.”
The gameplay loop of Tales from the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game will look familiar to Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon fans. It sees players as Hobbits in Bywater, customizing their appearance and decorating their homes with various items.
They can fish, farm, cook, host parties, invite others, trade, and learn new skills. Story missions and daily activities are also available with popular characters also appearing. Stay tuned for more updates next week.
