As part of today’s Hobbit Day showcase, publisher Private Division and developer Weta Workshop confirmed that Tales of the Shire will launch on March 25 across PC, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’ll also be available as part of Netflix Games. The game had originally been scheduled to launch this fall.
The press release confirming this news comes straight from publisher Private Division, a Take-Two subsidiary that seemed to be in dire straits according toreportsearlier this year. Whatever situation the label is in, it seems it’s got at least enough life left to support the launch of Tales of the Shire.

There’s a big emphasis on cooking here, with an extensive set of minigames that let you fix specially seasoned meals to win the hearts of your neighbors.
