During my time in Wellington, I was able to swing by Wētā Workshop's studio for their upcoming Tales of the Shire video game! Here, I chat with Steve Lambert (Art Director), Mark Barrett (Lead Game Programmer), Calliope Ryder (Lead Game Producer), and Darren Ormandy (Creative Writer) about bringing a cozy Hobbit feel to gaming, their roads to Middle-earth, and the practical Workshop effects behind that first teaser!

Tales of the Shire releases later this year (2024).
