Abandoned from Blue Box Game Studios is Hideo Kojima’s new Silent Hill for PlayStation 5?

In April 2023 on the official channel Playstation a teaser for a game called Abandoned for console Playstation 5… The developers specified the command Blue Box Game Studios…

The trailer is a few short segments showing a certain winter forest, while a woman in the background tells that the hero was alone, without food or water, far from home, but the most difficult thing is that he is a victim, the prey of the sect led by a fallen prophet who is willing to do anything for power and money.

The video causes an ambiguous reaction, because it is obvious that the forest was made in some kind of simple editor, the graphics are not impressive, but at the same time it manages to slow down. Everything looks like Blue box creates another indie craft on the knee, but some enthusiasts decided to study this studio a little, and here the fun begins, because a lot can indicate that this game is related to Hideo Kojimabut let’s take it in order.

Perhaps it’s worth starting with what Blue Box Game Studios had developed before. And she developed only one single game The Whisperer: A Paranormal Investigation Game, and she came out on the system Android March 15, 2019. Postscript “A Paranormal Investigation ” immediately reminds of “A hideo kojima game“and”Tactical Espionage Action“. The logo looks like black hand print on white background…

At the same time, screenshots from the game clearly refer us to P.T. – another creation Hideo Kojima…

Next, we move on to another interesting detail – the name of the founder and lead designer. Blue Box Game Studios… And it sounds like Hasan kahraman, or abbreviated H.K.which clearly refers us to Hideo Kojima. But the most interesting thing … if you go to the translator and translate the name Hideo from Japanese to Turkish, then we get Kahraman…

It should also not be forgotten that Kojima loves mysterious announcements. For example, the last Metal gear solid was announced in a similar way. A new game called Phantom pain from the team Moby dick studios, and the first interview on it Jeff Keely gave a Joaquim Mogren (anagram Kojima) with a bandaged head. Then it turned out that all this was part of an advertising campaign. Metal gear solid v…

Another game of mine Silent Hills, Kojima presented a puzzling playable demo called P.T., where the player recognized the real name of the project only at the very end.

By the way, Blue box promises to release a playable teaser of his project Abandoned 22nd of June.

Less interesting points include:

• Studio logo Blue box in fact it is a color-inverted logo Playstation studios…

• In the trailer Death Stranding Director’s Cut from Summer game fest you can see Sam in a blue jacket climbing into a box, which can be interpreted as the name of the studio Blue box…

• Nickname Blue box in Twitter sounds like @BBGameStudios… Perhaps this is a reference to BB of Death stranding…

• The game was allocated a separate article in PlayStation Blog, although absolutely nothing is known from it. This may indicate the importance of the project to Sony.

• The very text spoken by the woman in the Abandoned teaser may indicate the lonely and lost Kojimupursued by a money-hungry sect Konami…

• On the official YouTube channel Blue box in the cap there is a picture with hills / mountains in clouds / fog.

The developers themselves decided to add fuel to the fire by writing the following tweet:

Guess the name:
Abandoned = (First letter S, Last letter L). The show is coming

However, almost immediately, they began to deny any connection with Silent Hill…

We would like to clarify. We are not affiliated with Konami in any way. Silent Hill is owned by Konami. We are not affiliated with Hideo Kojima in any way. We weren’t going to tease Silent Hill. We apologize for the misunderstanding.

The most interesting thing is that the fifth part was teased in a similar way. Metal gear solid…

Our new game “Phantom Pain” is very original. We don’t understand the comparison with MGS. Does MGS have flying whales on fire? Nope.

All this suggests that the mysterious Abandoned – not such a simple project, and there is a high probability that, firstly, the game is being developed Hideo Kojima, and secondly, it has been in production for a long time, because they want to release it in the fourth quarter of 2023. Given the latest rumors about the long-term development of a new Silent Hill exclusively for PS5, it can be assumed, that Abandoned is a secret teaser for the new part.

However, be that as it may, we will soon find out everything, because the developers promised to share new information, including a gameplay video, on June 22.
