Oh No: PS5 Vapourware Abandoned Appears to Be Coming Back
Blue Box Game Studios appears to be reviving its long-troubled PS5 title Abandoned, years after the project seemingly disappeared into vaporware status. The evidence comes from recent updates to the game’s PlayStation Store page, which had remained accessible despite years of development silence and no official release.
Abandoned became notorious in gaming circles for its cryptic marketing, community speculation about its legitimacy, and extended radio silence from developers. Theories ranged from it being a stealth announcement for an established franchise to elaborate hoaxes, creating one of gaming’s more unusual stories during the PS5’s early lifecycle.
The exact status of the project remains unclear. It’s unknown whether Blue Box Game Studios plans to fully resurrect Abandoned as originally conceived, substantially revise it, or simply provide updates after years of silence. The updated Store listing suggests some form of development activity, though specifics about release timelines or gameplay details have not been announced.
This potential revival represents another chapter in one of modern gaming’s most confusing sagas, reigniting curiosity about what the project actually is and whether it will finally reach players.
