Following the conclusion of the PlayStation Showcase presentation, Jeff Ross, head of Days Gone, shared his feelings of disappointment with readers, stating that a sequel to the PS4 game could have come out last month “if we’d just stuck to our position.” But now, as you know, Sony Bend is preparing a new game after the platform owner abandoned plans to release Days Gone 2.
Ross’ full tweet reads:
“I’m a bit uneasy about these PlayStation Showcases as they just remind me that we could have released Days Gone 2 a month ago if we’d just stuck to our stance.”
If that were the case, the Days Gone sequel would have roughly a four-year development cycle, with the original game releasing in April 2019. As such, it can be assumed that this will be a sequel built largely on the foundations of Days Gone, but with some key gameplay improvements. For example, Jeff Ross has described Days Gone 2 in the past as the “final version” of the game, with improved animal AI and the ability to swim.
If Days Gone 2 came out in 2023, it would definitely improve Sony’s plans for this year, because Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Helldivers 2 should be released in the next six months. The only release from the manufacturer at the moment is Horizon Call of the Mountain for PSVR2.
