Tales of the Shire Delayed

A xeet from Tales of the Shire announces a delay to this The Lord of the Rings game, saying it will now arrive in 2025 (thanks VG247). With the length of the book trilogy apparently close to a half-million words (fixed: not half-billion, apologies) and the extended movies boasting a combined run time of over 11 hours, this fantasy tale has always taken its sweet time, so this tracks. Here's the explanation:
All of us here at Wētā Workshop are excited to have you join us in the Shire, a corner of J.R.R. Tolkien's world. When a new Hobbit steps into Bywater for the very first time, we want that moment to be everything you're hoping for.

To ensure deliver that vision Tales of the Shire will now be launching early 2025. Thank you for your patience and continued support. Be sure to tune in to our A Hobbit Day Showcase on September 22nd to learn more about Tales of the Shire and our new release date.

Thanks. I kind of get what you're saying, but the mental image I had in my head of what a fantastical and whimsical place the Shire would be is reflected closely in that trailer. I'm getting that it's not a "Lord of the Rings" game, but rather that it's based on Tolkien's description of life in the Shire as I imagined it from reading the books.
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
