Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game - PlayStation 5 - iam8bit

Welcome home, Hobbit—your cosy life in the Shire awaits on PlayStation 5.

From the creative studio Weta Workshop, discover, decorate, and share an idyllic corner of Middle-earth in Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game. Create your own Hobbit in Bywater, make a snug Hobbit-hole your own, tend the garden, fish clear ponds, forage wild ingredients, trade with townsfolk, and prepare homemade meals to foster friendships.

Explore the outdoors around Bywater to uncover secret glades and lost treasures of the Shire. Experience ever-changing weather and seasonal surprises, earn rewards as your story unfolds, meet iconic characters and familiar Hobbit families, and trade for upgrades to your skills, clothes, home, and more. Join club missions to complete daily activities and help the community achieve official village status in Bywater.

Make your dwelling truly yours with grid-free placement that lets you arrange furniture and decor just the way you like. Settle in for restful nights, then greet each new day’s small wonders as you shape your cosy routine.

No Hobbit’s day is complete without food: fish, garden, and forage to stock the pantry; harvest seasonal crops and flowers; then show off your culinary skills at mealtimes. Enjoy second breakfast or host a dinner party—sharing meals with invited guests strengthens relationships and weaves you deeper into village life.

Bonus items included with this edition add even more charm: unfold a beautiful map of Bywater and download the official game soundtrack to carry the Shire’s spirit with you.

Settle into Bywater and begin your tale today.
