EA has officially announced in their latest blog post that *Tales of the Shire*, the highly anticipated new title from the *It Takes Two* studio, will maintain its $49.99 price point on the upcoming Switch 2 – aligning perfectly with other platform versions.
But that’s not all! The game will not only support seamless cross-platform multiplayer but also introduce an exciting Switch 2-exclusive **[Game Share]** feature. This innovative functionality will allow players to enjoy local split-screen cooperative gameplay between Switch 1 and Switch 2 consoles, creating a truly unique gaming experience.

I’m really intrigued by this “Game Share” feature exclusive to the Switch 2—sounds like it could add a whole new layer of local multiplayer fun. At $49.99, the price feels fair if the gameplay lives up to the hype of its predecessor, *It Takes Two*. I wonder how well the cross-platform multiplayer will work in practice though. Excited to see more details as we get closer to release!
