After the massive success of Silent Hill 2, many fans are looking forward to Bloober Team’s Cronos: The New Dawn, which is expected to come out in 2025. Likewise, Silent Hill 2‘s director, Mateusz Lenart, said in an interview with YouTube channel Bonfire Conversations that his dream project would be a horror fantasy RPG, citing J.R.R. Tolkien’s work as one of his inspirations. Host Hamidreza Nikoofar suggested that Bloober should make a horror game based on The Lord of the Rings, to which Lenart said, “Don’t think I didn’t pitch my ideas around that.”

  • The conversation about The Lord of the Rings starts at the 32:50 mark.

In the YouTube comments, many fans praised Lenart for his vision, especially seeing how Bloober Team pulled off the Silent Hill 2 remake’s world. They also said that the interview was an insightful look into Lenart’s creative process and inspirations, adding that they’re excited to see what he and his team will come up with next, like a remake of Silent Hill 2‘s DLC or another Silent Hill game.

Although it isn’t set in stone yet, a Lord of the Rings horror game would definitely be interesting because of its dark medieval themes. As fans know, the story revolves around Frodo as he sets out on an adventure to destroy The One Ring, while also battling the forces of Sauron. The Lord of the Rings franchise has many scary characters, and they can become even more terrifying if they’re used in a potential horror title.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has had a bad streak of games in the last few years, especially with The Lord of the Rings: Gollum‘s becoming one of the worst-rated games of 2023. But a lot of fans are hopeful about future games based on the franchise, like the upcoming cozy farming sim Tales of the Shire that features new Hobbit characters. Perhaps a horror title from Bloober Team could help bring more variety and excitement to Lord of the Rings games in the future.
