It’s time to get cozy in the Shire!
Published by Take-Two-owned Private Division and developed by Wētā Workshop Game Studio, Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game is heading to console and PC sometime later this year.
Toss your lure to catch trout from the glistening waters of Bywater Pool, gather wild mushrooms, and then use the collected ingredients to bake a succulent pie to serve for luncheon. With a full belly, stroll back outside to explore the Shire and build relationships with the Bywater locals by helping them to build a garden, sharing one of the many daily Hobbit meals, and more.
Establish your life in Bywater, what will one day become known as Hobbiton, by making friends, foraging, fishing, gardening, and more to throw the best Bywater Festival yet. It’s Stardew Valley meets Middle-earth, and while the events of the game are well before we meet the legendary Baggins in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, there will be some familiar names (and maybe faces) to befriend in Bywater.
The Tales of the Shire will be released in the latter half of 2024 on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
