At last, the day of the long-awaited reveal of the PS5 demo of Abandoned has arrived, or rather, it seemed. After its announcement in April, the game of Hasan Kahraman of Blue Box Game Studios has suffered various rumors and mysteries about the true nature of the game, whether it has any connections with Silent Hill, or with the Death Stranding developer Hideo Kojima, but all denied in vain. And today it seemed that, at least, a minimum of showcase should be shed on the project, but at the moment, there are still no traces of the game yet.
Abandoned PS5 Demo Delayed
Before the showcase of the Abandoned PS5 demo via the Realtime Experience app that was scheduled for 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET time, the official Twitter account of the game published a very short teaser that, framing the floor, shows a person walking, with the words “Are you Ready?”

After a few minutes of waiting, which certainly increased the hype of the fans, the Blue Box Game Studios posted a new tweet that made it known that there were some technical problems for the delivery of the patch, and that they were working to fix it as soon as possible.

In the meantime, Shuhei Yoshida, the head of the Independent Developer Initiative at Sony Interactive Entertainment, took care of the situation, even more, in one of his tweets he showed the page on the Abandoned store.

After more than an hour of the news of the technical problems, however, there have been no updates of any kind from the development studio. There were also some rumors that how the reveal could be delayed to August 12, but it has not been confirmed by the official team yet.
Quick update: we are still working on it. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

At this point we can not help but wait, perhaps even during the next few hours, to understand what is behind this new game of Abandoned.
