So--I wanna talk about a small little game that's seemingly poised to hit Summer Game Fest or the summer; that being Abandoned. Or rather..what Abandoned is kind of doing right now in speculation.
For the sake of clarity, Abandoned is a new game by that of "Blue Box Gaming", apparently headed by a man named that of "Kasan Kahraman". Remember that name. The game is expected to launch in the end of Q4 2021, essentially, by this month. People have been gathering more and more information, as it seems like speculation is leading to that of Blue Box Gaming, and Abandoned...not being all it's cracked up to be.
Plan every move, weigh up every decision as you try and escape the sprawling wilderness.

Let's go first in the main developer, the sole developer as it seems, Kasan Kahraman. Or rather; the fact that it's actually a play on two different languages. Kasan, is Japanese for addition--while Kahraman in Turkish, for that of Hideo. Additionally, the studio is apparently settled in the Netherlands. For all accounts, the game should be coming by the end of the month, but..we haven't had a release date.
This, is being taken to an interesting level; as Geoff Keighley has openly shown images of Blue Box Games wanting to be involved in Summer Game Fest; as he has went out of his way to post that of the DM on Resetera.
Just for context, this is the DM I received from Hassan a while back.

It's gone to the point to where it's been seemingly discovered, that Abandoned is becoming an ARG, much like Moby Dick Studios. As people on Reddit have compiled almost everything--leading that to one conclusion:
Abandoned is Hideo Kojima's next title.
So, is Kojima doing a Kojima? This might actually be one of the biggest red herrings, but it's getting aggressively close to wondering on whether or not we're going to see Kojima Productions announcing their next title soon. Now, whether or not that it's Silent Hills, is a good question. But the signs point to Blue Box being something that it isn't.
