So why is it that Days Gone wasn’t given the chance? What the hell happened?Ī recent interview conducted by USA Today with former Days Gone director Jeff Ross – who is no longer at Sony Bend – has provided a number of interesting insights- and the gist seems that be that after the complicated and troubled development of the original game, the starts just could not align for a sequel in the way that some at Bend had hoped they would. But more than a few times, we’ve seen games that have managed to sand out their rough edges after the first instalment with a stellar sequel- Sony’s own Uncharted did the very same, after all. The studio seems to have left the IP behind, and now is working on another new open world IP. In early 2021, reports revealed that Sony Bend’s pitch for a Days Gone sequel had been rejected by Sony (or maybe even by Bend’s own local management). That sequel probably isn’t going to happen anytime soon, if ever. But then again, Days Gone had plenty of bright spots as well, and the general feeling among those who played it was that with a sequel, developer SIE Bend Studio could deliver something truly special.

Pacing issues, technical problems, some half-baked gameplay ideas, and other flaws combined to make for what was probably one of the roughest first party PlayStation releases of the PS4 era (at least in its later years). One of the biggest stumbles for Sony’s first party was Days Gone– a solid enough game in its own right, but not quite at the level that Sony would have wanted it to be. With the likes of God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and many more, internal Sony studios were consistently putting out one excellent game after another that could easily rank as some of the best games of the console generation.
First party releases have always been one of PlayStation’s most crucial cornerstones, but with the PS4 generation, they became even more crucial to Sony than ever.
