Push Square : Uh oh. Remember Abandoned, the mysterious game from indie developer Blue Box Game Studios? The PlayStation 5 exclusive that gathered momentum because people thought Kojima might be trying to fool us? Yeah, so, that's coming back.
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.”"
Not true in the slightest, on more then one occasion, they said they weren’t involved. 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
Yep you're right, it's all the fans fault and absolutely not Hasan Kahraman's own doing at all. He's the victim here and a stand up guy. Not even close to being a con artist or opportunist.
So what about posting a blurry photo of a guy in a eye patch while people think your game is connected to Kojima?
So did or did they not say they weren’t connected to kojima in any way? Because it seems clear as day that they said they weren’t. Kinda seems like dumbasses wanted there to be a connection.
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.

Are you serious!? That was almost a year after they created the conspiracy theory themselves, intentionally numerous times trying to promote that it was linked. They openly used him as a marketing tool to a point I’m surprised they haven’t been sued. I would imagine there has been some form of talks between solicitors at some point. Which is maybe why it’s now cancelled.
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.
I think Abandoned isn't a real game. At least not in the sense of what we think. I think it is it is the ghost of another game that we all wanted and it was abandoned. It is now literally haunting us.
At this point is has to be some sort of marketing gimmick. The name itself is kind of on the nose.
Because they basically create easy articles for people that get attention.
Just like Star Citizen updates.

u should probably actually read more than the first word in the headline before guessing which studio this is about lol
Blue Box Game Studios… Bluepoint actually released some awesome stuff, Demons Souls Remake , SoTC remake . Blue Box Game Studios is part of some marketing scheme to f with people and that’s it so far
You maybe want to fix your statement and fast before you’re the laughing stock of this comment section.
I genuinely N4G would make it so that you'd have to take a short quiz on the content of the article before being able to comment on it.
Wow.
There used to be a bubble system on this site for how many comments you could make
@SonyStyled
It's still there, to an extent.
Now it's just a general comment cap for everyone, I'm assuming.
The bubble system was flawed, being it just let the majority quiet comments they didn't like if I remember correctly.
Yes blue box, that's what I meant, my bad, at least the blue part was right though lol... I know bluepoint and I know they're a good studio (hopefully they'll remake mgs for us), I know the all the history about this abandoned facade and just hate the fact that they're trying to convince someone that this is still a thing. cut me some slack. Cheers
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.
Yep and whatever it is, it needs to be on the level of PT or he will get roasted.
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.
Can't wait to see whose assets he steals for this one
Oh god…
Let's see which shape of placeholder they're going to use this time.
Another empty space in the app is something i'm looking for.
I'm under the belief that the App itself is the big reveal. Every since Sony signed that deal with Microsoft to use Aszure, its seems that they have been working on some sort of technology that goes beyond simple steaming and I believe that this is part of it. I'm not sure how Blue Box fits into all of this but I think its more than just one game. I think its multiple games and I think that the App is really some type of Next Gen game demo system.
Yawn! They screwed up whatever they were trying to do with this. All interest is lost.
