Amazon is hoping to get more people hooked on Music Unlimited with a pre-Prime Day offer. Those who haven't tried the service before can get three months of access for free. The offer is even better for Prime members who haven't checked out the music-streaming platform. They can use it for four months at no extra cost. Music Unlimited typically costs $11 per month without Prime and $10 per month for Prime members. The company isn't leaving existing subscribers entirely out in the cold. Those with an individual Amazon Music Unlimited plan can upgrade to the Family Plan at no extra cost for two months. Amazon Music Unlimited includes more than 100 million songs, many of which are available in high definition and/or spatial audio. The service also includes ad-free versions of many popular podcasts. While it may not be the first music streaming service that springs to mind for most folks, Amazon Music Unlimited may be worth checking out. The HD music selection is particularly notable, since Spotify has yet to offer that feature.

Tales of the Shire, a cozy life sim set in the world of Lord of the Rings, has gotten a new release date and a strange new name. Its scheduled for release on March 25, 2025 and its now called Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game, because apparently referencing the Shire wasnt enough to clue in fans. LOTR diehards are well known for being ignorant about the franchise they love. That was extreme sarcasm. Anyways, this information was served up during Private Division and Wt Workshops Hobbit Day Showcase, which revealed a lot of new footage and included plenty of interviews with the games designers. Wt Workshop is actually helping to develop the game, after making effects for all of Peter Jacksons Middle-earth films. Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game (that really rolls off the tongue) was supposed to come out in 2024, but it was delayed so the developers could iron out some bugs and present a fully realized version of their original vision. Heres hoping that translates to a polished gameplay experience in March. For the uninitiated, this is a cozy sim. There are elements of Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley and other games in the genre. Theres farming, fishing and a deep character interaction system. Of course, theres also a big emphasis placed on cooking huge feasts. We all know how much hobbits love a good feast. The game looks cute enough and, heck, Im always down for a new cozy sim. However, the developers have confirmed that there will be no romance, despite the emphasis on cultivating relationships and friendships. The developers say that romance simply doesnt fit the tone of the game. In any event, Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game will be released for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Its also coming to Netflix.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/tales-of-the-shire-a-the-lord-of-the-rings-game-is-now-due-out-in-march-2025-180726777.html?src=rss

With the Tokyo Game Show taking place this week, major publishers have lined up showcases for the coming days. Sony is getting the jump on its rivals as it will run its next State of Play on September 24 at 6PM ET. The company plans to shine the spotlight on more than 20 PS5 and PS VR2 games during the stream, which is set to run for over 30 minutes. You'll be able to watch the showcase on YouTube and Twitch in English or Japanese. It seems very likely that we'll get a release date for Horizon Lego Adventures, the final first-party game that Sony currently has on its slate for the rest of the year. We'll surely get another look at the Until Dawn and Silent Hill 2 remakes before they arrive in early October too. There's also chatter that there are remasters of Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone on the way, so Sony might spill the beans on those. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and Marvel's Wolverine are among the other upcoming titles that could make an appearance. Here's hoping for a major surprise or two. Hardware news seems unlikely given that the PS5 Pro is coming soon. However, it's a good opportunity for Sony to remind everyone about those dope PS1-style 30th anniversary editions of the PS5 consoles and controllers. (For what it's worth, Sony may reveal the prices of those at the State of Play.) Meanwhile, let's not forget that September 26 is The Last of Us Day. If we don't hear anything about that franchise at the State of Play, Sony will certainly have something to say about it then. A release date for the PC version of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is possible, though we should at least get an update on season two of the HBO adaptation.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/sonys-next-state-of-play-stream-is-set-for-september-24-171708006.html?src=rss
