Zombies Are Coming Back to Life, But the Days Gone Franchise May Be Left Underground Forever
Gone forever ?
It’s not like it’s a surprise. If you come to visit us regularly, you already know that Days Gone is an unloved license from Sony.. Due to sales figures deemed disappointing by the Japanese manufacturer, the Bend Studio license is currently in a state of brain death.I have an opinion on something that might interest your audience, and that might annoy some of them.” announced John Garvin, creative director of Days Gone, who has now left Bend Studio, on April 16, 2021.If you like a game, buy it at full fucking price.” he let go. “Don’t complain if a game doesn’t get a sequel when it wasn’t supported at launch.” he protested, stung by Sony’s lack of interest in a possible Days Gone 2.
Despite its qualities and an honorable score on PC, Days Gone is not a priority for Sony. It’s not us who say it, but Kevin McAllister, community manager of Bend Studio. “We are currently working on a new IP, and when we have news to share, it will come from our studio.” he said in comments reported by PC Games. “I apologize to our Days Gone community for continually being fed false hope and misinformation by people looking for likes. It’s not fair to you all.” he added. McAllister insists that one should not listen to any “insider” or former developer of the studio.“These people need likes,” it reads. As for Days Gone, “it’s time to move on.”“. The message is clear.

“Millions of disappointed fans”
On John Garvin’s side, even if he admitted not having witnessed the cancellation of the Days Gone 2 project on which he worked before leaving Bend Studio, he repeats that only Sony can decide to bring back the franchise.. “Maybe in a few years, when the intellectual property has gathered dust (…), they will license it to other developers.” he said. On Xhe writes that seeing Sony not give the green light to a “successful franchise” “disappointed millions of fans“. However, it must be remembered that the video game industry is full of surprises, and that we have already seen licenses that have been gone for many years come back to the forefront. Who knows, maybe Days Gone will come back when we least expect it.
