One of the reasons people believe Abandoned is from Kojima is because it's difficult to find a lot of information about Blue Box Games. But that isn't because it is a shell corporation for Kojima Productions. Instead, Blue Box is simply a small studio that has never released a major console game before.
But the biggest piece of evidence I have that Abandoned is not a Kojima joint is that Kojima is in talks with Microsoft about publishing his next game, according to a source familiar with the matter. And yes, that statue on Phil Spencer's shelf was referencing a potential deal with the legendary developer. I cannot confirm if Xbox closed the deal yet, but my understanding is that Kojima is the focus of a Microsoft plan to leverage Japanese talent.
So you'll have to enjoy Abandoned absent Kojima's marketing stunts.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
