Bloober Team Studios continues to surprise horror fans. While their critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake delighted both series veterans and newcomers, the studio's ambitions extend far beyond the familiar.
A recent appearance on the Bonfire Conversations podcast revealed Bloober Team's intriguing exploration of a Lord of the Rings horror game. The concept envisioned a chilling survival horror experience, plunging players into Middle-earth's darkest recesses.
Unfortunately, securing the rights to the franchise proved insurmountable, leaving the project unrealized. However, the potential was undeniable, as fans quickly pointed out. Tolkien's rich lore offers ample material for crafting a truly terrifying atmosphere.
Currently, Bloober Team is concentrating on Cronos: The New Dawn and potential further collaborations with Konami on Silent Hill titles. Whether the studio will revisit their Lord of the Rings horror concept remains uncertain, but the prospect of encountering horrifying Nazgûl or Gollum is undeniably captivating.
