Abandoned Developer Reveals Story and Character Details

gamerant.com:

Abandoned developer Blue Box Games Studios is finally talking a bit more about the upcoming title. In fact, the latest development update for Abandoned sheds light on some of the game’s story.

Abandoned has had a rather long and twisty road of development since it was first announced. Hype was high at first, with rumors that the game had some kind of greater connection to Silent Hill or Hideo Kojima, though those theories have since been debunked. Then came the announcement that the Blue Box Game Studios had officially delayed its release following controversy surrounding its PS5 app.

After rumors that Abandoned had been canceled sprung up, the developer first shot that talk down and then, perhaps as a way to prove that everything is still full speed ahead, actually talked about the games’ main character and what that character will be facing in the game’s world.

The game’s creator, Hasan Kahraman, recently had a sit-down interview with the Sacred Symbols Podcast where he talked about Abandoned’s lead character, Jason Longfield. According to Kahraman, Jason is going to be going up against a cult and its leader who just happens to be his estranged older brother.

The Abandoned creator said that as Jason travels through the game’s world, he’ll be meeting and teaming up with companions here and there, but he’ll eventually have to face down that older brother in order to win the fight against the cult. Just how long the path might be and what else Jason might fight along the way is still being kept very much under wraps. The same goes for when the game might eventually be released and when people can expect to see or hear some real updates about the bigger story.
