Fans will have to wait a bit longer to experience the cozy vibes of Tales of the Shire, as the game has been officially delayed until this summer. The upcoming title will focus on the everyday lives of the Hobbits of Middle-earth, instead of adventuring and action. This gives fans of both LOTR and cozy gaming something to look forward.
The upcoming cozy game set in the Lord of the Rings universe was originally scheduled for release on March 25, 2025. However, the game has been officially delayed, according to an X post on the game's official account. Tales of the Shire's new release date will be July 29th, 2025.
According to the announcement, the delay is meant to give developer Wētā Workshop a chance to really get the game right. Tales of the Shire, says the notice, "needs a bit more simmering." Taking a bit more time perfecting the title will help to make sure that, "from foot-hair styles to the fluffiest cakes, every detail will be just right."
Lord of the Rings: Tales of the Shire is the latest game in the LOTR franchise, and it’s offering fans a cozy life sim experience that’s coming...
