Fans of the horror genre continue to be impressed by the innovative work of Bloober Team Studios. The recent Silent Hill 2 Remake received positive feedback from both dedicated fans of the series and newcomers alike, and the studio is not slowing down.

In an engaging episode of the Bonfire Conversations podcast, game director Mateusz Lenart shared a fascinating tidbit: Bloober Team had contemplated developing a horror game set within the Lord of the Rings universe. The envisioned game was to be a gripping survival horror experience, delving deep into the shadowy realms of Middle-earth.

Unfortunately, this intriguing project never moved beyond the conceptual stage, as the studio was unable to secure the necessary rights to the franchise. Enthusiasts of both Tolkien's work and horror gaming believe that such a project could have tapped into a rich vein of potential. The darker narratives found in Tolkien's writings are ripe for crafting a chilling atmosphere.

Currently, Bloober Team's focus has shifted to their upcoming project, Cronos: The New Dawn, and they are also exploring further collaborations with Konami, potentially expanding their work within the Silent Hill universe. While it remains uncertain whether they will revisit the concept of a horror game set in Tolkien's world, the idea of encountering terrifying entities like the Nazgûl or Gollum holds a compelling allure on its own.
