Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings stories have made video game fodder many times over the years, but in truth, like so many attempts to bring IPs from one realm to another, have never quite been blessed with a video game worthy of the source material. Closest in memory was the Golem game from last year that cast aside its potential to be a roundly derided attempt that was dismissed out of hand by gamers everywhere. Traditionally games based on this particular subject matter have all been about the wars and battles of the storyline but the forthcoming Tales of the Shire will do things a little differently, instead focusing on a cozy Hobbit simulator with no Black Riders galloping through the green, green grass of the homeland. No, Tales of the Shire will see you live out your Hobbit dreams of a quiet life, trying to become the most popular Hobbit in the village and just generally having a chilled experience that anybody can enjoy. Readwrite Gaming first covered Tales of the Shire when the original trailer accidentally leaked many moons ago, but we are now in a position where the devs at Wētā Workshop are confident enough to place a release date of 25th March next year (2025) on the game’s head. PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox versions are all set to arrive together, and an 18-minute deep dive showcase video has been released showing just how far Tales of the Shire has come. New Zealand’s Wētā Workshop’s broader resume includes work on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies from the early 2000’s so the source material is very familiar in that part of the world. So if the idea of creating your Hobbit (and yes you can even choose the style of foot hair they have!) appeals and you just want a quiet life in your Hobbit Hole, thankfully, you only have a few more months to wait. The post Tales of the Shire will finally bring the Hobbit sim to life next March appeared first on ReadWrite.

The long-running classic fighting game Fatal Fury first surfaced way back in 1991 but we haven’t had a new installment for some 26 years since Garou: Mark of the Wolves came out just before the turn of the Millennium. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves may have been a long time coming, but it appears that it may already have picked up some more modern gaming traits such as adding popular figures from real life into the make-believe universe of Tery Bogard and company. With a move straight outta Fortnite it seems as though Fatal Fury may be getting fighting legend, er, Cristiano Ronaldo added to its roster, if an oblique post on X from CR7 himself is anything to go by. Famous footballers are not new to video games outside of their lanes.
