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.

During a recent Bonfire Conversations podcast, game director Mateusz Lenart shared this intriguing detail. The envisioned game would have explored the darker aspects of Tolkien's world, utilizing the rich source material for a truly terrifying experience. Many believe this concept held immense potential, given the inherent darkness and potential for suspense found within Tolkien's works.

Currently, Bloober Team's focus is on their new title, Cronos: The New Dawn, and potential future collaborations with Konami on Silent Hill projects. Whether they will revisit the Lord of the Rings horror concept remains to be seen, but the potential for chilling encounters with Nazgûl or Gollum certainly sparks the imagination.
