Tales of the Shire - Official Announcement Trailer - PEGI
Tales of the Shire wasannounced in September last yearbut we didn’t know much about it aside from the setting and the name. Edwin’s gut feeling about Hobbiton being an “obvious choice for some kind of slice-of-lifey farming simulation” seems to have hit the mark, at least in part. We see plenty of growing, foraging and friend-making in the above trailer.
“Tales of the Shire brings a cosy new dimension to the way fans can experience Middle-earth,” says Kelly Tyson, Head of Product at Wētā Workshop, the studio behind the game.
There has been a smattering of Lord of the Rings games recently, including thetroubled Lord of the Rings: Gollumand the subterranean survive ‘em up Return To Moria, which Alice B thought was a little janky but also “full of love and pretty reveals” in herLord of the Rings: Return to Moria review.
