Cosy life sim Tales Of The Shire needs more time in the oven, delayed until 2025
Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game has been delayed into early 2025. The cosy life sim set in the home of the hobbits had initially been aiming for a late 2024 release, but developers Weta Workshop Game Studio announced they need more time.

"To ensure we deliver that vision, Tales Of The Shire will now be launching early 2025."
