New information all but extinguishes hopes for a Days Gone 2 release

[Redaktion]

Days Gone was launched to mixed reactions back in 2019, and its recently released PC port has mirrored that for the most part. Over a hundred thousand fans may have banded together to demand a sequel from Sony but even that looks to have been inadequate, with new information essentially confirming that Days Gone 2 is dead in the water.

100,000+ supporters is in no way enough push to give Sony a reason to change its mind (at would take at least a minimum of 800K-1M supporters just to start to cover development cost) now.

I've been playing through it from when I got it on PS Plus. It's pretty good. No where near the best open world game there is but it's good. It kinda feels like a AA game trying to be AAA. Maybe that's why it got mixed reviews. It was in development for years, constantly getting bigged up. Everyone was getting too hyped for it.

Then let's not support bend studio new project and make it dead in the water til they make a sequel? :p

I'm selling all my Sony stuff... if I ever buy another game it will be from their major competitor.

Remember how the writer of the game blasted people for buying the game on sale. If I remember correctly he said "don't expect a sequel if you can't be bothered to pay full price for the game." Why blame the consumer who doesn't know if a game is going to be dead on arrival these days to wait for value to show through? I'm glad they aren't getting a sequel.

Last of Us and LoU II were so much better than Days Gone. Days Gone was good, but no need for a sequel.

Kind of sad cause this game was a lot of fun. I don't understand the expectations of some of you gamers. I don't beat many games due to lack of time but I almost 100% this game due to how it kept me coming back for more. I played on PC 1440p@144hz (3090)

They should definitely make a sequel..one of the best games I've played...definitely the best zombie game out there in my opinion

If Sony doesn't want Bend doing anything with it, fine.  Give it to another studio to work on.

If it doesn't want to anything at all with the IP, fine.  Sell it and let someone else do something with it.  Get something for it rather than let it sit. Maybe Rockstar would pick it up. Maybe an indie developer could pick it up.

It's stupid to do nothing with it.  If no one picks it up, then fine, it's really dead.  But there's still options for Sony.

I think they should. What is Sony afraid of? That it will do better then the Last of us 2? Sorry we all know now the direction they want to take that and we won't allow it or want it! And 100,000 fans yeah don't think so it did way better then that and if people knew how the Last of us 2 was going to be, more people would have bought Days Gone guaranteed.

Sell it xbox! If playstation doesn't want it. I'd play it on xbox in a heart beat. Days Gone is the best game I've played in a very long time. It's fantastic! I'm really close to finishing it now. It's gonna make me sad when I do. There's not another game like it.

[Richard Howard]

I thought days gone was better that the last of us! If they end up going on Xbox I would sell my ps5 for the series x straight away. Especially now Bethesda games are only for Xbox now

[Timothy Bailey]

I really hope they will come out with a days gone 2 and days gone was really good game i love it

Damn you Sony for not renewing for a sequel on yet another great game.
