Cozy Lord of the Rings game Tales of the Shire delayed until early 2025

The developer has announced that Tales of the Shire has been delayed until early 2025.

Tales of the Shire is a cozy life sim set in the Lord of the Rings universe, initially launching this fall on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and Netflix Games. It is developed by Wētā Workshop and published by Private Division, the embattled subsidiary of Take-Two.

In preparation for an in-depth analysis of the game due for release on September 22 (the annual Hobbit Day for fans of The Lord of the Rings, as it celebrates the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins), Wētā Workshop said it has delayed the game’s release to ensure the game’s vision becomes reality.

“All of us here at Weta Workshop are delighted to have you join us in the Shire, a peaceful corner of JRR Tolkien’s world. When a new Hobbit steps into Bywater for the first time, we want that moment to be everything you hope for.

“To ensure we deliver on that vision, Tales of the Shire will now launch in early 2025. Thank you for your patience and continued support. Be sure to tune in to our A Hobbit Day Showcase on September 22 to learn more about Tales of the Shire and our new release date.”

Tales of the Shire features everything from cooking to fishing and foraging to decorating. There’s also a storyline that “stays lovingly true to the books.” Check out IGN’s Tales of the Shire preview for more.
