There are a lot of rumors surrounding the upcoming PS5 game Abandoned by developer Blue Box Game Studios. Much of the discussion around the game concerned the possibility that Abandoned would be an addition to the Silent Hill series, which has been dormant since 2014. However, fans looking forward to learning more about Abandoned will have to wait a little longer.

According to director Hasan Kahraman, Abandoned will be a hyper-realistic open-world survival horror game that incorporates high-detail environments and gameplay requiring tactical thought. Players will take on the role of Jason Longfield, who finds himself in a forest with no idea how he got there. As he struggles to survive, it becomes clear that he isn't alone, and one of the threats he'll be facing appears to be a blood-loving cult. One of the ways Blue Box is promoting the title is its upcoming Abandoned:Trailers app, which has been delayed for three days due to localization issues.

The delay was announced on Blue Box's official Twitter account today. The game's apparent content and tonal similarities to Silent Hill gave rise to a variety of rumors, including the claim that it would be a collaboration with Hideo Kojima, but Blue Box has officially confirmed Abandoned is not involved with Kojima Productions. That said, Silent Hill fans continue to search for connections between this game and the classic survival horror series.

While Blue Box has also denied that Abandoned is connected to Silent Hill, it's still possible that the new title was inspired by Silent Hill. Some fans may be disappointed that Abandoned is not an elaborate ruse conducted by the creators of a new Silent Hill game, but Abandoned seems like an interesting game in its own right. A horror game with an emphasis on survival mechanics, focuses around an antagonistic and corrupt religious community, and takes advantage of the PS5's power sounds like it would appeal to fans of games like Silent Hill.

Abandoned was originally announced as a PS5 exclusive, but it now appears that this also isn't the case as Abandoned devs confirmed a PC release. Whether Abandoned ends up being related to Silent Hill in theme or something entirely original, the game has gathered a lot of popularity online. Hopefully, fans are able to find something to enjoy in this upcoming open-world survival horror title.

Abandoned is slated to launch in 2021 for PC and PS5.
