Tales of the Shire: All you need to know about the Hobbit cosy game

With its rolling hills and pristine farms, the Shire seems like the ideal location for a cosy game. The serene sub-genre evokes the warm, fuzzy feelings of childhood, so it’s no wonder JRR Tolkien’s pastoral region is about to serve as its next tableau.

Imagine living in an idyllic village, tending to your crops and decorating your hobbit hole. That’s the formula for an upcoming game set in the world of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Announced on International Hobbit Day in 2022 (yes, that’s a thing), Tales of the Shire now has an official release date.
