Bloober Team, the studio behind the acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake, recently revealed a fascinating concept: a Lord of the Rings survival horror game. While the project never progressed beyond the concept stage due to licensing issues, the idea of a grim, Middle-earth-set horror game captivated fans and developers alike.
In a recent Bonfire Conversations podcast, game director Mateusz Lenart shared that Bloober Team explored the potential of this dark, atmospheric horror experience, drawing inspiration from the darker elements within Tolkien's lore. The rich tapestry of Tolkien's writings offers ample material for creating a truly terrifying game, fans believe.
However, the studio's current focus lies on their new project, Cronos: The New Dawn, and potential future collaborations with Konami on Silent Hill titles. Whether Bloober Team will revisit the Lord of the Rings horror concept remains uncertain, but the prospect of a game featuring terrifying encounters with Nazgûl or Gollum certainly holds significant appeal.
