Tales of the Shire is due this summer, and the developers have a new video out in honor of Tolkien Reading Day!

I have been looking forward to Tales of the Shire ever since its reveal, and the video showcases the game’s visual inspiration from Tolkein’s works. The game looks gorgeous, and it feels like I have stepped into the comfortable world of Hobbiton and the wonders of a second breakfast.
