Dear Fellow Hobbits,

A good Hobbit feast takes time, and so does Tales of the Shire! We're taking a little longer to ensure that every Hobbit, on every platform, can enjoy the same cosy experience. The game will now launch on 29th July 2025.

We want this game to feel like a warm hug from Middle-earth, and we are making sure that no matter what you play, you'll feel right at home in The Shire. From foot-hair styles to the fluffiest cakes, every detail will be just right.

We appreciate your patience and cannot wait for you to experience life in The Shire this summer. In the meantime, arrange the table, polish your sliver and get ready for a feast fit for a Hobbit!

Looking forward to welcoming you to Bywater.
