The developer of cozy Lord of the Rings game, Tales of the Shire, has shared another glimpse into the upcoming game and promised a “trailer coming soon.”
Developer Wētā Workshop has shared another sneak peek of its Lord of the Rings game. This comes just days after the studio shared a first look atTales of the Shire’s artwork- which featured several Hobbits living their best lives by fishing, foraging, and having picnics. There’s still a lot to learn about this game, but judging by what we’ve seen so far, it seems to be a cozy Hobbit life sim.
In the latest video shared by the developer, you don’t learn anything new about Tales of the Shire. The clip is only seven seconds long and just shows a very peaceful corner of what seems to be Hobbiton. There are no characters to spot and just a waterfall to focus on. As we said, there’s not much to go off here, but the two teasers must mean that Wētā Workshop is gearing up for a full reveal very soon.
After the artwork reveal last week, one of Tales of the Shire’s developers took to Twitter to share their excitement for the project and told fans that there’s “more to come soon.” This and the caption above the most recent video must mean that we’ll be getting our first proper introduction to the game within the next week or two.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
