Bend Studio Gets New Logo, Shares Info On Unannounced Project
Days Gone developer Bend Studio officially has a new logo, and to celebrate, the PlayStation Studios developer offered a few more tidbits about its next project.
The new logo is split into a graphic and a workmark, and is intended to reflect a "new identity" as the studio moves forward on its next project. Associate art director Shay Casey went in-depth on the new logo in a post on the PlayStation Blog.

In addition to the logo announcement, Bend Studio also revealed a few more tibits about its unannounced IP, including confirmation that it will feature multiplayer. Bend Studio also reiterated that the new game will "build upon the open-world systems of Days Gone," which were famous for being more granular than your typical open-world game, requiring the hero, Deacon St. John, to find fuel for his motorcycle among other tasks.
Bend Studio says it will reveal the new game "when the time is right."
As for Days Gone, we were lukewarm on it in our review, but its unique direction has won it a smaller but passionate fanbase over the years. Former director Jeff Ross, who has since moved on to Crystal Dynamics, has said that the proposed sequel would have gone in a more "technical direction."
While Bend Studio toils away on its new, Sony is full speed ahead elsewhere, having recently hosted a State of Play that included in-depth looks at a number of major third-party projects, including Final Fantasy 16. Its next big in-house project is God of War: Ragnarok, which is rumored to be out later this year.
