Wētā Workshop and Private Division have announced The Lord of the Rings game Tales of the Shire. The companies don’t want to reveal more about the game until next year. A short teaser was published with the announcement.
Publisher Private Division talks about a ‘cozy’ Lord of the Rings game set in Middle-earth. The Shire is the part where hobbits live; they probably play a major role in the game. Wētā Workshop is a special effects company that worked on The Lord of the Rings films and the TV series, among others. The company has never released a game before. As a publisher, Private Division is known for, among other things, The Outer Worlds and Kerbal Space Program 2.
