In Tolkien’s Middle-earth of orcs and Nazgûl, “cozy” isn’t exactly the first word that springs to mind. And yet, Tales of the Shire is an upcoming cozy life sim set in the universe of The Lord of the Rings. Several months after the game was announced, developer Weta Workshop (which worked on the special effects for all six of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth films) and publisher Private Division have offered a first proper look at it with a new trailer.
The clip opens with a narration noting that, while Hobbits have been known for “tales of courage and brave deeds in dark times,” things will be much lighter here. You and your Hobbit will explore Bywater, decorate a home, make friends, cook, grow crops, go fishing (of course) and much more. You’ll get to enjoy what appears to be a very chill existence in The Shire. The stylized, cartoony art style lends itself to the warm atmosphere that Weta Workshop is trying to project.
Tales of the Shire is coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
