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 idea of a grim, Middle-earth-set horror experience captivated both developers and fans, the project never progressed due to securing the necessary licensing rights.
Game director Mateusz Lenart, during a recent Bonfire Conversations podcast, shared this intriguing detail. Fans widely believe the concept held significant promise, given the rich, dark material within Tolkien's works that would lend itself perfectly to a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere.
Currently, Bloober Team's focus is on their new project, Cronos: The New Dawn, and potential future collaborations with Konami on Silent Hill titles. Whether the studio will revisit their Lord of the Rings horror concept following their recent success remains uncertain, but the potential for chilling encounters with Nazgûl or Gollum undeniably sparks the imagination.
