First off, sorry Mods if this doesn't follow guidelines please close this one as I have never posted anything like this before.
In April Blue Box Game Studios announced a new horror game of some kind, called Abandoned. They seem to be a new studio and it had a short trailer that looked pretty good for what we assume is a indie project coming exclusive to PS4.

Today they posted this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BBGameStudios/status/1404890697006784521
Which says: Guess the name: Abandoned = (First letter S, Last letter L). Reveal closing in... #PS5 #Exclusive
I mean look, I am not all for rumors and conspiracy theories but let's go down this rabbit hole for a second. Because it looks like Abandoned could be Silent Hill of some kind. We have also had some rumors of Kojima working on Silent Hill, which I assumed was just wishful thinking due to P.T. never getting the full Silent Hills game we wanted. But Kojima does this kind of stuff, he did this with Moby Dick Studios and MGSV. He likes playing games.
Some other things to note. This studio is followed by Geoff Keighley. Not many other insiders or industry vets follow them. Could mean nothing but I do know that Geoff and Kojima are very close and often collaborate on announcements when possible. It was also interesting that the original PlayStation Blog that was posted about this game was posted by the game director Hasan Kahraman. I couldn't find much on this guy and I have never heard of him. His linkedin profile had very little info: https://nl.linkedin.com/in/hasan-kahraman-346a7696. But those intitials are weird, H.K. Hideo Kojima? Also it says in there that he has been working at Blue Box since 2014. I never heard of this studio before April and can't find a game they have worked on before this but weirdly P.T. did come out in 2014...
Maybe I am going crazy but this is kind of weird, right? Lock if I am losing into due to quarantine and lack of sunlight.
Poll: Let's say Team Fake is this is an indie game with no other bigger ties. Team Real is this is Silent Hill Kojima game. If it is one of the two, Kojima or Silent Hill I think that is enough for team real too. It could be a Kojima horror game that is not Silent Hill, I think that is plenty for Team Real.
27: What does the number 27 have to do with anything? Silent Hills was canceled on April 27, and now we are seeing a lot of coincidences of the number 27 popping up in relation to "Abandoned" and BlueBox.
Please check threadmarks for important updates and responses. If you see anything that needs to be marked let me know. This has taken off faster than expected and it's hard to keep up with everything.
