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

by Zachary Jan 25,2025

Bloober Team, the studio behind the acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake, recently revealed a fascinating concept: a Lord of the Rings survival horror game. During a Bonfire Conversations podcast, game director Mateusz Lenart disclosed that the studio explored the possibility of developing a grim, immersive horror experience set within the dark corners of Middle-earth.

Unfortunately, securing the rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise proved insurmountable, leaving the project unrealized. However, the concept resonated strongly with fans, who believe Tolkien's rich tapestry of dark narratives provides fertile ground for a truly terrifying game. The potential for chilling encounters with Nazgûl or Gollum, for example, is undeniably intriguing.

Currently, Bloober Team's focus rests 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 remains uncertain, but the initial idea certainly captured the imagination of both developers and fans alike.
