Abandoned, which had remained silent for years, was relisted on the PlayStation Store with a 2027 release year. The store page for Blue Box Game Studios’ survival-horror project lists three versions:
- Realtime Experience
- Prologue
- Base game
However, the studio has not commented on the listing; the game is still shown as “TBA” on its official website. Therefore, the 2027 date is not a confirmed release announcement.
Announced as a PS5 exclusive in April 2021, the project attracted attention with its forest setting and atmosphere. Some players claimed that the game was a new Silent Hill bearing Hideo Kojima’s signature. Blue Box repeatedly stated that it had no connection to Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima, or Konami; Hasan Kahraman also denied these claims.
The Realtime Experience app on PS5 was released with technical issues and, instead of the expected presentation, offered approximately five seconds of previously shared footage of a character walking. The studio apologized and stated that Prologue was in development.
The independently playable Prologue was planned for release in the first quarter of 2022, but it was delayed. Although Blue Box denied cancellation rumors in March 2022, it acknowledged that the production was not ready.
Why it matters
The significance of this development is that a project whose progress has long been impossible to verify has once again come to players’ attention; however, the discrepancy between the store data and the studio’s official communication leaves it unclear how binding the 2027 information is. The postponement of previously planned content and the project’s association with technical issues show that the new listing alone provides no evidence of its stage of completion. For this reason, the news is less a confirmation of a release than a new sign to follow, particularly for PS5 owners and those who have been tracking the project for years. The main question left unanswered is whether the listed versions will actually be released and when the studio will make an official announcement about them.
