Abandon is a 17-level Boom-compatible megawad released in beta on June 8, 2020,^[1] after development started all the way back in 2016. Maps were created by Bemused, Benjogami and Alex Scott (Scotty), as well as custom menu graphics by Insane_Gazebo and a new status bar by galileo31dos01. The megawad is designed around the slaughter map style, with a highly detailed approach towards design quality, high level of difficulty and large-scale levels, making considerable use of single-color textures in abstract backdrops. Abandon reached Release Candidate status on November 17, 2022.

Abandon received a Cacoward in 2020.
