Blue Box deletes tweets about Abandoned future plans which include the mention of a demo. Studio says they are facing a "minor delay."
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
A Blue Box Game Studios hidden audio log describes AI-generated video games in poorly-translated Japanese, likely another ploy by Studio head Hasan Kahraman to ride the hype of a Kojima conspiracy.
At this point it’s just funny to check back in. I will not buy this game and have no interest in it now. Why would someone buy his game when he has played off of the hopes of gamers for months now?
Since this wasn't in a Star Citizen thread, the hardcore defenders weren't able to downvote it and look what happened. Love to see it.
Came here to witness the community meltdown all over again. Don't disappoint me guys and gals!
They've lost any good will from me at this point. Show me something meaningful or don't show anything at all.
Honestly, I still think this has Kojima's fingerprints all over it. I think it's Metal Gear. This all feels like an annoying but elaborate way to come out later with "Kept ya waiting, huh?"
Sony's oddly quiet about this. They're oddly quiet in general, but knowing that we know about psvr2 and it's been too long since they've caught us up on anything, it feels like there are some seriously massive reveals coming.
Can't say for sure obviously... But there's too much weird stuff going on, and I still think Blue Box is part of this strangeness we're living through.
I completely agree. This feels so much like something he would do and while it has gone on too long maybe that's the point; to show how deep the rabbit hole goes when it comes to peoples responses to all these bait and switch games. I feel like it's a commentary on the state of the industry.
Despite all of that, no one has been able to explain to me why this fake announcement of a real game from a small indie dev with a history of releasing nothing but failures landed a spot on the PS blog. Sony hasn't commented on it, removed the post/video, it has a native PS5 app that they are continuing to update and push notifications to the news feed. If this is all just a scam, it makes entirely no sense that Sony would continue to support it let alone have a MASSIVE PS logo on Bluebox Studios website. I personally think there is a big surprise in store for this whole thing. When we get it is another matter all together, but it's coming.
I don't think so, if you do some digging you can see this guy has done similar campaigns before, and those equated to nothing much
Kojima already did the whole fake game and fake studio thing. He's not going to do it again. Especially with how sloppy this whole thing has been. Kojima is meticulous about how he pulls his pranks. Blue Box is a real studio with a track record of announcing and cancelling games. They were formed before MGSV came out. You're telling me Kojima set this up before he left Konami? Before he released Death Stranding? Get your heads out of the clouds. Kojima has nothing to do with this.
Agreed. This Hasan is probably AI and we've all been punked again by Kojima. Wishful thinking.
Ethereal,
My thoughts exactly. It's just too strange to have Sony so on board, only for this to be non-committal vaporware. It's very strange. I'm wondering if there are announcements within announcements at this point. To an extent, Kojima is predictable... And perhaps he didn't like how quickly The Phantom Pain was figured out. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong...but this feels like a massive misdirect.
Isarai,
Isn't that also reason to use this guy? Because people would be inclined to believe he's full of it and Kojima is capitalizing on that, allowing the title to hide in plain sight?
porkChop,
Is it a fake studio though? Perhaps KojiPro are absorbing them? I think we're all very much playing into the feeling of paranoia, which is probably what Kojima wants. Is the theme of this new game connected? The feeling that something is there, but others convince you that you're wrong... Only to realize you were right all along? Something of a Candyman effect?
It's clever, and when you think about it that way, it makes complete sense: it's like MGSV's nuclear disarmament campaign. His trolling has moved beyond the individual into a more societal form. In that case, what would the condition be this time?
I have no earthly clue on any of it... But I do believe Kojima is up to something here.
Yeah I agree with that, I'm all for mystery and surprise and happy to be tricked but there is usually a time limit to these things and this ran out a while back
I'm surprised this indie game hasn't been cancel yet
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.
Vaporware since 1992...
