Days Gone Studio Confirms New Open-World Game With Multiplayer
Bend Studio, developer of DaysGone, has provided an update on its upcoming project, confirming its next game will be an open-world adventure based on a new IP — and it'll have multiplayer. PlayStation had previously announced that Bend Studio was working on a new IP back in June 2021, following Sony's rejection of a Days Gone sequel.

Days Gone has gathered a loyal fanbase over the years since its PS4 release in 2019, and later went on to receive a PC port. However, critics didn't respond too favorably to the title. Due to the lack of strongly positive reviews, Sony rejected Bend Studio's pitch for a sequel, which sparked a petition where over 150,000 fans tried to change the company's mind. Unfortunately, it would seem this petition for a Days Gone 2 didn't work, which has led to Bend Studio developing a completely new IP instead.
