Hobbit hobbies in Tales of the Shire
During the Hobbit Day presentation, Private Division and Weta Workshop announced the release date for Tales of the Shire. This upcoming Hobbit-themed life sim is set to release on March 25, 2025 (canonically, this is also the day Frodo and Samwise destroyed the One Ring). The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and mobile devices via Netflix Games.
Tales of the Shire takes Lord of the Rings fans to a quiet corner of Middle-earth. Instead of epic battles, this game focuses on the cozy life of the Shire. You'll be able to create your own hobbit and settle in a charming hobbit hole in Bywater. So get ready to become part of the friendly hobbit community.
Players will enjoy a variety of tasks, including gathering ingredients for breakfast, fishing, tending to their gardens, and fixing up their cozy hobbit home. The village of Bywater will be filled with hobbits, offering quests, trading rare goods, and sharing tips to help the new hobbit feel at home.
Tales Of The Shire is the first game from Weta Workshop's video game division, which started in 2014. Weta is best known for its incredible cinematic effects, and has worked on films such as Alien: Romulus and Dune Part Two, as well as the Tolkien series The Rings Of Power on Amazon Prime.
Hobbit Day, the inspiration behind this Tales Of The Shire stream, kicks off Tolkien Week, a fun celebration of JRR Tolkien’s incredible stories. Every year on September 22, fans celebrate the birthdays of two beloved hobbits, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, who are central figures in The Lord of the Rings franchise.
