Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game is a cozy life simulation game developed by Wētā Workshop and published by Fictions. It was released on July 29, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

You create your own Hobbit and move into Bywater, a small settlement in the Shire that is not yet an official village. Your days revolve around simple, relaxing tasks: tending a garden, fishing in quiet ponds, foraging for wild fruit and herbs, and trading with the locals.

Food sits at the heart of the game. You gather ingredients, cook homemade meals, and share them with neighbors to build friendships. Over time, helping the community and strengthening those relationships moves Bywater toward full village status.

Your Hobbit hole is yours to shape. Furniture and decorations use grid-free placement, so you can arrange rooms freely, and you can personalize your Hobbit's appearance and clothing. There is no combat, and the pace is set entirely by you.

Tales of the Shire is a single-player game. It suits fans of The Lord of the Rings and players who enjoy calm farming and life sims, decorating, and slow, low-pressure play sessions.
