While Tales of the Shire’s release date slipped further into the year, the simulation game is quickly approaching. Now set to release this July, Tales of the Shire initially excited Tolkienverse fans and fans of the life sim genre alike. While its early previews came with their share of criticism, hopefully the delays will result in a stronger game at launch. One area that developer Weta Workshop will have had time to expand upon is the game’s interior decoration, and hopefully, it has considered adding items that go against the grain of the title’s cozy vibes.
