While plenty of people have long-since come to the conclusion that Blue Box Game Studios\u2019 Abandoned has been well\u2026 abandoned, Blue Box founder, Hasan Kahraman, took to Colin Moriarty\u2019s PlayStation-centered podcast, Sacred Symbols+ (via VGC), to discuss his experience communicating with Silent Hill publisher, Konami, during the height of conspiracy theories that his game was affiliated to the Konami property.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, they seemed \u201creally cool\u201d after he emailed them about the whole ordeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI reached out to them, I was stressed out because people thought it was Silent Hill. It got so out of hand, and you know, you\u2019re this small developer, you\u2019ve never had a big audience, you\u2019re inexperienced. I reached out to Konami saying like, \u2018Hey you know what, it was never my intention\u2019 and they were really cool.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For the longest time, it was speculated that Abandoned was an elaborate ruse and was spearheaded by Hideo Kojima. It wasn\u2019t until June 2021 that Kahraman cleared the air and appeared on video. It also seems he is still adamant about the game\u2019s release. <\/span><\/p>\n

The public still has very little go off of and if it does see the light of day, we can\u2019t imagine outlets will let Blue Box forget their history and prompting an unsavory stigma surrounding the studio.<\/span><\/p>\n
