Silent Hill 2 Remake developers dream of a horror in the “Lord of the Rings” universe

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, discussed on the Bonfire Conversations podcast by game director Mateusz Lenart, envisioned a terrifying journey through the darker aspects of Middle-earth, it ultimately fell through due to securing the necessary licensing rights.

Despite this setback, fans remain enthusiastic about the potential. The rich lore of Tolkien's works offers ample material for a truly chilling survival horror experience, brimming with atmospheric tension.

Currently, Bloober Team's focus is on their upcoming title, Cronos: The New Dawn, and potentially further collaborations with Konami on Silent Hill projects. Whether they'll revisit the Lord of the Rings horror concept remains to be seen, but the prospect of encountering terrifying Nazgûl or Gollum in a survival horror setting is undeniably intriguing.
