Do not name it a comeback simply but, however it seems that developer Blue Field Recreation Studios’ PS5-exclusive, first-person horror shooter Deserted might not have been deserted in spite of everything, based on a put up on ResetEra.
Sleuths on the gaming forum ResetEra discovered on March 5 that Blue Field Recreation Studios’ director, Hasan Kahraman, has a brand new recreation related to his PlayStation account. The recreation is titled Deserted: Gospels of Blood, suggesting that Kahraman could also be trying to resurrect a model of the once-maligned PS5 undertaking. That is it, although. There isn’t any trailer, no demo, no launch date–nothing in any respect. So, to know the importance of this insignificant replace, we have now to return to 2021.
A Journey Down (Deserted) Reminiscence Lane
Back in April 2021, developer Hasan Kahraman and his staff at Blue Field Recreation Studios pulled again the curtain on Deserted. Revealing it on the PlayStation Blog, the sport was described as a “cinematic, first-person horror survival-shooter” with photorealistic graphics and a extremely detailed, open-world surroundings. It appeared creepy but beautiful, however it additionally type of resembled a Silent Hill recreation. Or, a minimum of, that was the idea after the undertaking was unveiled, with netizens linking Deserted to the long-lasting survival-horror sequence and assuming Kahraman was a stand-in for gaming auteur Hideo Kojima. (The two do share related initials, in spite of everything, though Kojima has since denied being involved with Abandoned in any capacity.)
There was a PS5 app that was supposed to deal with screenshots, a demo of the sport, and movies, in addition to the complete recreation when it launched “later [that] 12 months,” based on Kahraman. Nevertheless, that by no means occurred. The truth is, the sport simply … vanished. Property had been deleted. Tweets had been scrubbed. Data was scarce. Primarily, it was a type of vaporware, publicly introduced software program that by no means noticed the sunshine of day.
Regardless of its vanishing act, there was a declare {that a} prologue would launch someday in early 2022. Nevertheless, very like the sport and app earlier than it, this by no means truly got here out. And as soon as once more, the undertaking scurried into the darkness, by no means to be heard of once more.
Sources informed GameSpot in June 2022 that Blue Field Recreation Studios was deceptive followers with Deserted. Greater than half a dozen individuals who had shut contact with Kahraman defined that the undertaking was in disarray, that guarantees had been unfulfilled, and that the personal Discord server the staff used to solicit enterprise offers had grow to be poisonous. Apparently, sources claimed Kahraman spent extra time enjoying Rainbow Six Siege than engaged on Deserted.
Deserted Is Just That, Then?
That is anybody’s guess. Blue Field Recreation Studios’ X account has been inactive since November 2022, when the team thanked Kojima for overtly addressing conspiracy theories. There’s a YouTube channel connected to the Netherlands-based developer, however it has no movies, and the studio has no different social media accounts. There additionally does not look like an official account for Kahraman on any social media community.
So, who is aware of? Is Deserted … deserted? Perhaps. As Push Square suggested in a March 6 report, Gospels of Blood may simply be Kahraman testing the sport. Or it might be Kahraman attempting to drum up hype for a undertaking which will by no means truly come out. Solely time will inform.
