According to a recent PlayStation Store update, Abandoned preload will release on July 29. The full release should follow shortly after in August.
From VGC: "Blue Box Game Studios, the developer behind the horror game Abandoned, has thanked Hideo Kojima for publicly addressing long-running speculation that he’s involved in the vapourware project.
Earlier this week Kojima broke his silence about being linked to the project on his podcast, Brain Structure, in an attempt to end months of rumours that the Metal Gear creator was the secret mastermind behind the controversial game.
“We want to thank @Kojima_Hideo for addressing the conspiracies openly,” Blue Box tweeted. “It has been a burden and not cool for both fans and developers. We hope everyone can close this for good.”"
Thanking him for resolving a conspiracy that they basically encouraged and rode for as long as they could. How nice of them.
Kojima again speaking about the game & the studio just to revive the debate when no one is even talking about it anymore is yet again a fishy scenario & action.
on more then one occasion, bluebox said they weren’t involved with kojima. This is a tweet in 2021. “ We wanted to set things straight. We have no relations with Konami. Silent Hill is owned by Konami. We do not have any relations with Hideo Kojima. It was never our intention to tease the name as Silent Hill. We sincerely apologize for this.”
And they kept addressing this rumour over and over. This is the fans fault
Should be more concerned about their lack of follow through with what they said they'll release.
BLUE BOX Game Studios took to twitter to respond to rumors of their upcoming title, Abandoned, being cancelled.
Blue Box deletes tweets about Abandoned future plans which include the mention of a demo. Studio says they are facing a "minor delay."
This project was/is a train wreck. Even if the game turns out to be a legitimate product Hasan will have an impossible task of convincing the world he's not a con artist.
Has anybody actually gone back to the blue box app" recently ? This game is DOA already.
What an absolute mess of a game reveal
So what else is new? When it came time to
Show something you delayed it. Judging by your history I’m feeling more like this is vaporware due to you not being able to deliver on the hype you garnered.
My expectations went down for this indie game
A normal studio would announce ahead of time "hey preload is coming!" Heck if said normal studio missed that and saw this spreading they'd still step back and say "hey we know you saw it, lets make it official!" Blue Box on the other hand hasn't even updated social channels about it.....so much hope lost the more they do absolutely nothing right.
I just don't know what to expect anymore. Still a Hideo game?
They peaked and now it's just yesterday's news.
