- Silent Hill 2 art director reveals he suggested a horror RPG set in the Lord of the Rings universe.
- He said his ideal project would be a horror fantasy game set in medieval times.
- The whole discussion suggests that the pitch wasn’t met with too much enthusiasm.
Silent Hill 2 Remake was undoubtedly one of the finest games of this year. Despite missing out on any major award at TGA 2024, it won the audience with an incarnation of the classic game.
Now, the Silent Hill 2 Art Director has revealed that he even pitched a Lord of the Rings-inspired horror RPG, which could be a great success if made a reality.
Why it matters: Based on how well The Bloober Team did with Silent Hill 2 Remake, fans would be open to anything they release with horror elements, even a game set in the LOTR universe.
Talking to Bonfire Conversations, director Mateusz Lenart discussed the team’s approach and challenges while creating the spooky world of Silent Hill 2 Remake. He further stated that his dream project would be a fantasy horror RPG.
The host suggested that Lord of the Rings would be really ‘Cool’ for the idea, to which Lenart agreed and stated that he pitched the idea. However, it doesn’t seem like the idea went anywhere.
Don’t think I didn’t pitch my ideas for one.

While on paper, this idea doesn’t seem too good, it would make a lot of sense considering that there are horror elements in the franchise, especially with the Fellowship of the Ring. However, whether the pitch will ever translate into an actual game is yet to be seen.
Lord of The Rings fans haven’t had many great games to work with, either. Last year’s Gollum game, especially, was a huge disappointment. Meanwhile, Bloober Team recently revealed stunning art from its next game, Cronos: The New Dawn.
