More reports have surfaced suggesting upcoming PS5 game Abandoned is “not actively being worked on” and “there is no game” in development.
The claims come from GameSpot , which alleges it has information directly from a private Discord server through which Hasan Kahraman of Blue Box Game Studios, Abandoned’s director, communicates with a handful of selected fans.
In exchange for access to “screenshots, animations, and even a page of the game’s script”, the members are required to sign a NDA, so some would only speak about the project under strict anonymity. Should any member of the server press Kahraman – who is described as “duplicitous and prone to mood swings” – for clarification or more details, they risk being banned from the small community.

In interviews with “more than half a dozen people who have had close contact with Kahraman since September 2021″, GameSpot reports the game is”in disarray” and the director “promises a lot, including paid work for fans, but delivers very little”.
