Developed by Weta Workshop Game Studio and published by Private Division, the game is based on the legendarium created by J. R. R. Tolkien and takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Tales of the Shire is a life simulator where the player creates a Hobbit character and settles in a village named Bywater. The player must manage the Hobbit’s day-to-day life and chores, from fishing and gardening to resource foraging. Hobbit houses are extensively customizable, with multiple interior decorative items. Players can also explore Bywater and its surrounding areas, completing quests and developing relationships with other Hobbits.
