Tolkien fans can expect a showcase of Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings as part of Hobbit Day celebrations on Sunday, September 22, 2024.
Starting at 10:30am PT / 1:30am EST / 6:30am BST, the livestream will be available to watch on X, YouTube, Twitch and TikTok on the official game page on each platform.
No release date has been given for the game yet, so that might be something to look out for during the launch.
Here’s what Private Division, the game’s publisher, had to say about Tales of the Shire on their website:
