Fans who are both enthusiasts of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and cozy gaming received exciting news last year when Weta Workshop declared the upcoming game, Tales of the Shire. This title promises an immersive experience living as a hobbit, complete with fishing, feasting, and socializing. Initially planned for late 2024, it was subsequently postponed to March of this year, only to be delayed again. Regrettably, the Hobbits still haven’t quite gathered around the table, and Tales of the Shire has once more been pushed back. The game now aims for a July 29th launch, expressing gratitude to fans for their understanding as the team diligently works on crafting an ideal Hobbit banquet.
Weta Workshop’s update on the further postponement of Tales of the Shire may sound familiar to those who have been following its progress. Just as before, Weta reiterates their commitment to creating a game that feels like a comforting embrace from Middle-earth, necessitating more time for them to ensure players feel completely at ease in the Shire. This sentiment mirrors the sentiments expressed when the initial delay was announced.
The story of the Shire requires a little more cooking time… Coming to you on July 29th, 2025. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. #TalesOfTheShire #LOTR #cosyGaming
This version maintains the original message about the game needing more time before release while using easier-to-understand cooking terminology instead of simmering, and also adjusts the hashtags to a more common British spelling for “cosy” and capitalizing “LOTR”.

It’s evident that Weta is being meticulous in crafting Tales of the Shire so it feels polished upon release, given the weighty expectations associated with such a well-known IP and the close-knit gaming community reminiscent of hobbits. The statement from Weta seems to acknowledge concerns about the character models, particularly details like “foot-hair styles,” which they’re still refining. Despite the anticipation for the game among gamers and Lord of the Rings enthusiasts, the initial feedback and delay hint that fans value a high-quality final product over a speedy launch.
What We Know About Tales of the Shire So Far

So far, “Tales of the Shire” has given us a peek into several gameplay aspects, such as videos demonstrating Hobbit-hole decoration and cooking. These sneak peeks have many enthusiasts eager for the game’s overall atmosphere, with its stunning visuals of the Shire featuring familiar activities that snug gamers enjoy – food preparation, fishing, farming, and community development. Additionally, we’re getting a glimpse into the game’s main objective: developing Bywater and elevating its reputation across the Shire.
Although these sneak peeks at the game have sparked enthusiasm, numerous fans remain apprehensive about certain animations and character designs.

In any event, it appears that fans of Lord of the Rings will have to be patient for a while longer before they can revisit the Shire for second breakfast.
