An unpleasant situation for everyone.
We return to talk about the controversial PS5 exclusive Abandoned, this time, however, without actually having something to say about the game: unfortunately the Blue Box Game Studios team reported that they have been subjected to serious threats, even of death, by a part of the user.
An absolutely vile and subtle way of doing, to be condemned by all means and force, which unfortunately we see too much in the context of development and videogame projects. In this specific case, the study intervened on social networks with a declaration, or rather a message, “from us, human beings”. Because we must carefully consider this: behind every game, every project, more or less large and ambitious, there are always real people.

“The following message does not come from the company, but from a group of human beings. The last few days have been difficult. The death threats we receive online are increasing, but unfortunately also physically and this has to stop. (…) The situation. It not only affects us as a team, but also everyone involved in our project, including our families. “
“(…) We are aware of the negative situation we have created and we understand your frustration. But what we do not understand are the death threats. We greatly appreciate your interest in Abandoned and we are working hard on the project. We will start a blog on our own. site that will be updated regularly and we will post any news about the game on our Twitter. What we ask for now is just that we be given the space to work peacefully on Abandoned. “
A situation therefore not easy for Abandoned, which remains a project shrouded in mystery. However, we know that Blue Box is currently working on the so-called Abandoned Prologue, which will be a full game available in early 2022.
