Kick Off Your Shoes And Step Into Tales of The Shire in Wholesome Direct Showcase

PRESS RELEASE – June 8, 2025 – At the Wholesome Direct digital showcase today, Wētā Workshop welcomed viewers home to The Shire in a brand-new trailer for the Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game featuring charming gameplay, serene surroundings, and in true Hobbit fashion – plenty of food.

The new trailer gives glimpses of life in Bywater, meeting new friends and familiar faces. Players can decorate their own Hobbit hole, exactly as they like, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life in The Shire. Bask in colorful seasonal changes and stock up the pantry by fishing, gardening, foraging and trading ingredients for shared meals with friends.

Fellow Hobbits don’t need an excuse for a party, they’re just waiting for their invitation – only when ready, of course.

From the creative studio Wētā Workshop, live the cosy life of a Hobbit in the wonderfully serene landscape of The Shire. Discover, decorate, and share in this peaceful corner of Middle-earth. Launching on July 29, 2025, for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game will be available digitally and physically worldwide.
