The Blue Blox Studios conspiracy saga will continue until August as the Abandoned trailer app is delayed once again. This delay marks the third since the reveal of the indie title. Initially, the app was slated to release on June 20. However, Blue Box pushed the release of the app back to June 22 without citing a reason. Just days before the release, the app was delayed again to today, June 25. The studio once again blamed localization issues for the delay.
With the amount of attention on the game, Blue Box seemed ready to deliver on its promise and present its game to the world. However, this was not the case as game director Hasan Kahraman posted a video on Blue Box Studios’ Twitter that the highly anticipated Abandoned trailer app needs until August to fix localization and other issues. It is hard to understand the situation considering the studio believed the app would be ready to launch after a three-day delay. Now, with over a month to go, some online are starting to speculate whether or not Kahraman is a real person.

Blue Box Studios touted that its game would feature 4K, realistic graphics running at 60 FPS before the conspiracies reached its fever pitch. Some are using this information as an indication that Kahraman is not a human but a CGI character played by an actor. Nothing as of this writing proves that idealogy. In the video, Kahraman seems exhausted. Whether that’s because he is posting at nearly 3 a.m. in his time zone or because of the gravity of the situation weighing down is unclear. Regardless, the attention garnered over the past two weeks cannot be easy on a small indie team, as Kahraman cited in the video.
Thankfully, some in the comments have been understanding of the team’s situation. While some still believe the conspiracies, many have expressed excitement over the actual Abandoned game and not a new Silent Hill. Hopefully, when it’s ready, the app is everything the developers want and a great introduction to something new for PS5 players.
