Whereas it hasn’t been formally introduced for Swap (or, certainly, any particular platform in the meanwhile), we’re getting ourselves all enthusiastic about Tales of the Shire, an upcoming “heart-warming” Lord of the Rings recreation from Wētā Workshop and Non-public Division, due out on “consoles” in 2024.
Now, we do not truly know all that a lot about this one for the second — the above teaser is extra of a title reveal than the rest — although the next description from the Tales of the Shire web site has us considering that this won’t be fairly as action-packed as lots of the LotR video games that we’ve got seen previously:
Your cosy Hobbit life awaits in Tales of the Shire, a heart-warming, new, The Lord of the Rings™ recreation due out in 2024 on console and PC
“Cosy”? “Coronary heart-warming”? We might be a fool-of-a-Took to place all our eggs in a single basket right here, however is that this screaming life/farm sim to anybody else? Assuming that it will focus solely on the goings-on of The Shire, we’re anticipating one thing just a little extra laid again — and would not that be form of fantastic?
After all, the opposite apparent omission from the teaser is any details about which consoles it will likely be launched on — the sport’s Twitter bio specifies “consoles”, plural, fear not. The Swap could be very a lot a part of the Fellowship on the subject of ‘cosy video games’ so we’d image it being properly within the working for a launch slot, although solely time will inform.
Our nice eyes will proceed to be ever-watchful over the approaching months for any extra info on this one as our fingers stay firmly crossed that it will likely be adventuring our manner subsequent yr.
Do you suppose we’ll see Tales of the Shire on Swap? Tell us your hopes for the sport within the feedback under.
