It’s time at last, hobbits! The long-awaited Lord of the Rings game, Tales of the Shire, has officially confirmed its release date and is now accepting pre-orders. Exciting pre-order bonuses are up for grabs for those who reserve their copy. Additionally, Weta Workshop has announced physical editions of the game, allowing you to expand your collection with a charming game box. Here’s all the information you need to decide on your Tales of the Shire pre-order.
This version provides a more straightforward and concise way of presenting the same information while maintaining the original’s tone and style.
Despite the eagerness of both avid gamers and devoted “Lord of the Rings” enthusiasts for the upcoming game “Tales of the Shire”, the frequent postponements had left several people questioning if July 29th would truly mark its launch. However, good news arrives as pre-orders are now open for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PC via Steam, and Xbox Series X|S. There are two physical versions of the game to choose from, along with digital pre-orders, allowing us to examine the distinctions to aid your decision-making process.
Tales of the Shire Editions & Platforms
The stories set in the Shire will come out in a physical format on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, while digital versions can be obtained through Steam or for the Xbox Series X|S. Gamers have two physical edition options to pick from when they decide to purchase this game.
- Retail Edition – Physical copy of the game for PS5 or Nintendo Switch, with a fold-out map of Bywater
- iam8bit Exclusive Edition – Physical copy of the game for PS5 or Nintendo Switch, with special book cover-style sleeve. Also includes the fold-out Bywater map.
Beginning May 6th, you can reserve your iam8bit Exclusive Edition at a cost of $39.99, available for both Nintendo Switch and PS5 versions. The release date for the Retail Edition is still to be announced, with its price details unavailable as of now.
Digital editions of “Tales of the Shire” will also be accessible on various platforms. However, at this moment, there’s no option to pre-order the digital versions. This might change closer to the release date, but as of now, pre-orders and exclusive offers are only available for physical copies.
Tales of the Shire Pre-Order Bonuses
Whether you choose to pre-order or not, you’ll receive the game and Bywater map; however, those who do pre-order will enjoy some additional perks. For avid Hobbit enthusiasts planning to buy the physical edition of Tales of the Shire, a bonus download code for the official game soundtrack is included. Previewing the music suggests it’s an ideal accompaniment, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere when you can’t actually play Tales of the Shire.
Keep in mind that the exclusive iam8bit edition of “Tales of the Shire” will start shipping on its release date, July 29th. This means that even if you pre-order it, delivery might not happen on the launch day itself. But if you’re particularly keen on getting the book-style sleeve, then it could be worth the wait.
The charming game titled “Tales of the Shire: A Cozy Lord of the Rings Experience” is set to launch on July 29th, available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. As of now, there’s no confirmation about a tailored version for a potential Switch 2, but we can hope that it will be playable on your new console thanks to backwards compatibility.
