The furore over Abandoned, the not-Kojima-developed horror shooter/survival recreation from Blue Field Recreation Studios, has died down. Maybe this is the reason the sport has solely obtained a short replace on the PlayStation 5 that may very well be simply missed except you went on the lookout for it. As noticed by Push Sq., this replace states there’ll be a playable prologue arriving for Deserted quickly.
The replace might be discovered by finding the Abandoned Realtime Experience app on the PlayStation Retailer on the PS5, or the app itself if you have already got it put in. Within the Information part, the newest replace says: “We’re excited to introduced that the Prologue chapter releases Q1 2022. A particular date will probably be introduced shortly. Keep tuned!” In line with an FAQ on the developer’s web site, the playable prologue is “a standalone recreation with its personal set of Trophy’s [sic] on PS5”.
Up to now, the Realtime Expertise app solely incorporates a brief 5 second teaser, one which was already out there to view on Twitter earlier than it turned out there on the app. On the time, the teaser additionally stated there could be a cinematic trailer coming quickly, in addition to the aforementioned playable prologue. Recreation creator Hasan Kahraman went on to vow the trailer would arrive “really soon”, however that was again in August and there’s been no point out of it within the 4 months which have adopted. It’s nonetheless alleged to arrive earlier than the playable prologue, however whether or not that really occurs stays to be seen.
In line with the FAQ, the rationale for the repeated teaser within the app was as a result of the group needed to “trim the opening teaser” due to technical issues. Additionally they say the sport was “introduced too quickly”. The early announcement and all the rumors surrounding the involvement of Hideo Kojima meant the sport attracted a far greater viewers than the studio was anticipating. The studio determined they wanted to shine the sport extra earlier than its debut and “even now, the sport isn’t prepared for the general public eye to see”.
Deserted gained’t even be the sport’s actual identify; that is alleged to be introduced throughout a gameplay reveal. The app launched with empty spots for a cinematic reveal trailer, one other trailer, a launch trailer, and two gameplay demonstration movies. None of those have obtained mentions within the newest announcement and it may very well be that we now skip straight to the playable prologue. We’ll simply must see what, if something, occurs subsequent.
