Days Gone Developer Talks About Cancelled PS5 Game
Bend Studio, owned by PlayStation, became a hot topic in the gaming world after the cancellation of its new PS5 game after Days Gone. Although the game was said to be a live service-focused production, the project was never officially announced. This cancellation decision came after the studio gave up on making the Days Gone sequel and focused on this new project. Bend Studio’s community manager Kevin McCallister gave hope to fans by saying, “Thank you for your love and support. We still plan to do great things,” in a statement he made on social media.
Bend Studio and the Future of Days Gone
Days Gone had been Bend Studio’s main focus since its release in 2019. With the game being ported to the PC platform in 2021, the studio had turned to different projects. However, the cancellation of the new PS5 game means that Bend Studio has not been able to release a major game for a long time. This situation has raised questions among PlayStation fans about what the studio’s next step will be.
Some fans are hoping that the Days Gone 2 project could be revived. However, it is thought that this possibility is slim due to the departure of key figures from the studio. However, interest in the Days Gone series has not diminished; PlayStation Productions is known to be working on a Days Gone movie. This could create an opportunity for the series to be revived in the future.
Bend Studio’s canceled project could have been part of PlayStation’s strategy to focus on live service games. However, this cancellation could present an opportunity for the studio to redefine its place in the gaming world. Kevin McCallister’s statements indicate that the studio will continue to develop new and creative projects.
Recent developments show that Bend Studio is in a difficult period despite its past successes. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what path the studio will take in the future. Whether or not it will return to the Days Gone world will become clear over time.
