Fans ofLord of the RingsandStardew Valleywill be pleased to learn a game combining the two is currently in development.
Theofficial teaser trailerreleased on 21 September shows a woman sketching what looks to be Middle Earth in the form of a dainty little Hobbit hole. Although we don’t know much else about what we can expect fromTales of the Shire,it looks to be centered on the Hobbits themselves. With Hobbits we can also expect adventure so it will be interesting to see just how much of Middle Earth we will get to explore.

With the press release calling this a “cozy The Lord of the Rings game”, it is hard to pin down what genre it will fall into. Cosy games have been defined widely in recent years but all seem to share a lifestyle simulation element as well as a resource management aspect. With the most well-known games in the category beingAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsandStardew Valley,it will be interesting to see Middle Earth presented in this style.
