The full message regarding the delay for Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game reads:

All of us here at Weta Workshop are excited to have you join us in the Shire, a peaceful corner of J.R.R. Tolken’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 we deliver that vision, Tales of the Shire will now be launching early 2025.
