Days Gone Director Hints at PS5 Sequel

4
Earlier this year, after years of development and delays, Sony Bend's Days Gone finally hit PlayStation 4, and despite a slightly underwhelming critical reception, the game sold very well and found its fanbase. And it needed to. There was a lot of scuttlebutt and tasty Internet rumors suggesting that Sony Bend would have been shuttered if it didn't after how long it took to release the game. That said, this isn't happening, or at least it doesn't appear to be. But what does appear to be happening is a sequel on the PlayStation 5. According to Sony Bend studio director Chris Reece, the team at the Oregon-based studio wants to continue to explore the world of Days Gone.

"Oh yeah, it is certainly a passion of ours, and that's what we've always wanted to do," said Reese while speaking to Games Radar. "This is a world that we want to keep breathing more life into, and explore many, many different avenues. So who knows, we'll see!"


Of course, ultimately it matters less what Sony Bend wants to do, and more what the heads of PlayStation want to do, but I can't imagine any reason why PlayStation would object to making a follow-up. It's certainly safer than taking another jab at a new IP.

As you may know, back in June a job listing surfaced from Sony Bend, revealing that work on the studio's next game is already underway. Whether this is Days Gone 2, who knows, but it sounds like it could be.

Days Gone is available for PS4, and at the moment of publishing, there's been no official word of a sequel being in development.
