One of PlayStation's Most Notorious Vaporware Mysteries Hints at a Surprising Return
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Years after going viral for wild Kojima conspiracy theories and a disastrous development cycle, the controversial PS5 horror game Abandoned has surfaced again through recent PlayStation Network activity.
Back in 2021, the gaming side of social media became entirely consumed by a mystery surrounding a PlayStation 5 survival horror game called Abandoned. Developed by the small studio Blue Box Game Studios and led by Hasan Kahraman, the project instantly went viral due to wild fan theories connecting it to Hideo Kojima and the Silent Hill franchise. Unfortunately, the reality of the game failed to match the internet hype. Between vague teasers, a notoriously underwhelming companion app that offered almost nothing playable, and indefinite radio silence, Abandoned quickly became a cautionary tale of marketing missteps and community speculation outrunning production reality.
Now, according to a report by Push Square, the project might actually still be breathing. Recent activity on the PlayStation Network profile of former director Hasan Kahraman shows him playing a title called Abandoned: Gospels of Blood, which is currently unreleased and unavailable on the storefront. Observers point out that this activity likely points to internal testing rather than an imminent launch, but it nonetheless breaks years of complete quiet surrounding the title.
For players who watched the 2021 saga unfold across Twitter and YouTube, this update is a curious footnote rather than a guaranteed comeback story. Given the turbulent history of the studio and the absence of concrete gameplay footage, the community remains rightly cautious about what this internal testing actually means for the final product. Still, the gaming world loves a redemption arc, and watching how this bizarre chapter evolves will certainly keep the internet talking.
