Weta Workshop is expected to release the Hobbit life simulator Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game sometime in early 2025 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Here, players will be able to live the relaxing lifestyle of a Hobbit in the emerging village of Bywater. While the game is single player, gamers can still take part in numerous fun activities to help build up Bywater, including decorating Hobbit Holes, trading with townsfolks, and hosting extravagant meals with neighbors. Players may also encounter some familiar, iconic faces in Bywater, but theres one pair who may shine exceptionally well in Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game: the trouble making cousins Merry and Pippin.
