SIE Bend Studio's 2019 post-apocalyptic open world action-adventure title is seemingly being remastered, it's been claimed.
Former Sony Bend director John Garvin feels Days Gone protagonist Deacon St. John has been "reduced to a cartoon shill promoting some small game."
Bend Studio is hiring for a Lead Project Manager with experience in "leadership roles shipping triple-A live service games."
Bend Studio is currently working on a new open-world title, which builds on the systems of Days Gone and features multiplayer.
SIE Bend Studio wanted to work on a sequel, but a pitch was turned down by Sony, previous reports have revealed.
Bend Studio confirmed last year that it was working on a new IP with multiplayer and the open-world systems from Days Gone.
"We are currently working on a new IP that includes multiplayer and builds upon the open-world systems of Days Gone," the developer says.
Bend Studio, which is currently working on a new IP, will host a special live stream to unveil its new logo today at 12 PM/3 PM ET on Twitch.
Sony has provided updated sales figures for its PC releases so far. SIE Bend Studio's Days Gone has sold over 850,000 units on the platform.
It seems likely that SIE Bend Studio's PlayStation and PlayStation Portable shooters will likely be part of the revamped PS Plus' library.
Jeff Ross has confirmed joining the team and said he's "thrilled with the project, and especially the team of really wonderful people."
Days Gone director Jeff Ross recently spoke about his plans of making an Uncharted spinoff, with a young Victor Sullivan being the main protagonist.
Recent reports have brought interesting details about the cancelled sequel to light- what the hell happened to it?
The former director of Days Gone, Jeff Ross, talks about him finding one of the boss fights in the game terrible, and how budget constraints affected the pacing.
Former Days Gone director recently stated that the game had sold at least as much as 9 million units- though that may not be entirely accurate.
Despite selling even more after his departure, Jeff Ross says, "Local studio management always made us feel like it was a big disappointment."
Sony confirmed recently that Bend Studio was working on a new open world IP, and it seems that game will have a multiplayer component as well.
SIE Bend Studio wanted to make "not only a good PC game in general" but also "a [good] port," says lead designer Eric Jensen.
How does the open world title's PC port fare?
Looks like people really want that sequel.
