This is getting ridiculous, isn't it? Blue Box Game Studios has now delayed the mysterious Abandoned trailer app all the way back to August, citing last-minute bugs and localisation issues. The PlayStation 5 application was originally slated to hit the PS Store at some point today following the first delay earlier this week. "The app isn't quite there yet", Hasan Kahraman claims.

Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.
Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!
That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi
It is odd one I don't know how business deals work or the law of that kind of stuff. But is it possible Sony reached out and said hey we want you apart of Sony but don't want to purchase you for what ever reason. How about use disband and we will open a studio and hire you guys type of thing. Is that even possible?
I guess the deviation team fell apart and didn't deliver good progress on what they pitched (they overhyped themselves when the team was announced)so Sony shut them down. They regrouped with a new team and a new pitch so Sony is giving them another shot.
And this time they are keeping it quiet to keep pressure down on the team. So people aren't asking everyday what deviation(or whatever the new team is called) is doing.
Edit: Also Sony never owned them. They just ended their partnership with them. Deviation decided to close on their own.
Good point. You know, i was thinking of Days Gone too. They pitch an idea to Sony for Days Gone 2 but Sony didnt like it do they scrapped the whole thing. Maybe if a good pitch came by...they'd reconsider it.
DiRT Rally talisman Paul Coleman has found a home at iRacing, more specifically the Orontes Games team that created little-known off-road racer DRAG Outer Zones. Here's how development is progressing

The game has clearly already begun.
This whole scenario is so bizarre. Although this does kind of kill the buzz. I genuinely hope this isn't just a small studio after getting in way over their heads.
August? That's awfully a long delay for an app.
Super troll job
There was an app here... It's gone now.
