While it hasn’t been formally introduced for Switch (or, certainly, any particular platform in the meanwhile), we’re getting ourselves all enthusiastic about Tales of the Shire, an upcoming “heart-warming” Lord of the Rings sport from Wētā Workshop and Private Division, due out on “consoles” in 2024.
Now, we do not truly know all that a lot about this one for the second — the above teaser is extra of a title reveal than the rest — although the next description from the Tales of the Shire web site has us pondering that this may not be fairly as action-packed as lots of the LotR video games that we’ve got seen previously:
Your cosy Hobbit life awaits in Tales of the Shire, a heart-warming, new, The Lord of the Rings™ sport due out in 2024 on console and PC
“Cosy”? “Heart-warming”? We’d be a fool-of-a-Took to place all our eggs in a single basket right here, however is that this screaming life/farm sim to anybody else? Assuming that this can focus solely on the goings-on of The Shire, we’re anticipating one thing a little bit extra laid again — and would not that be form of fantastic?
Of course, the opposite apparent omission from the teaser is any details about which consoles it will likely be launched on — the sport’s Twitter bio specifies “consoles”, plural, fear not. The Switch could be very a lot a part of the Fellowship with regards to ‘cosy video games’ so we might image it being nicely within the working for a launch slot, although solely time will inform.
Our nice eyes will proceed to be ever-watchful over the approaching months for any extra data on this one as our fingers stay firmly crossed that it will likely be adventuring our means subsequent 12 months.
Do you assume we’ll see Tales of the Shire on Switch? Let us know your hopes for the sport within the feedback under.
