Days Gone 2 Release Date
Days Gone 2! American video game company Bend Studio recently hinted that work is progressing on their new game for the PlayStation 5 console.
Bend Studio is based in Oregon and is owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment. They are best known for creating the 2019 action game Days Gone for the PlayStation 4. Days Gone takes place in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombie-like creatures called Freakers.
Is there a Days Gone 2 coming out?
Although Days Gone sold well, Sony decided not to approve a sequel. So Bend Studio started working on a brand new game instead. This upcoming game will be Bend Studio’s first multiplayer open-world game.
In the past, Bend Studio focused on making action and adventure games for Sony’s portable gaming devices. After Sony acquired them in 2000, Bend Studio started creating games for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 as well.

Bend Studio Update on Days Gone 2
Recently, when a fan asked for an update on their new game for the PlayStation 5 on Twitter, Bend Studio simply replied “We cooking”. This implies that steady progress is being made, even though no new details were revealed.
Last year, Bend Studio’s community manager said that this new game would be the studio’s best yet. He also confirmed it would be an open-world multiplayer game, which is a first for Bend Studio.
Having an exciting new title from Bend Studio would greatly benefit Sony. Right now, the PlayStation 5 only has about a dozen true exclusive games. And some of the announced upcoming exclusives have been delayed, like the third-person action game Stellar Blade.
There is no sequel to Days Gone
In the future, a new Days Gone 2 game isn’t out of the question. Days Gone was left on a cliffhanger, so fans would probably want to see a proper conclusion to the story.
In 2021, a petition was started asking Sony to approve a Days Gone sequel. It has collected around 210,000 signatures so far. This shows there is definite demand for more Days Gone, even if a sequel isn’t likely anytime soon.
If Bend Studio did make a new Days Gone game, whether a direct sequel or prequel, they would already have excellent examples from other games to draw inspiration from.
