Bend Studio, the developer of ‘Days Gone’, is reportedly making progress on a new project for the PlayStation 5. This development follows a period of transition for the studio, which included the cancellation of a proposed ‘Days Gone 2’ and a live-service title in 2025.

Reports indicate the new project may be a new intellectual property rather than a sequel. While specific details regarding the genre and story are unknown, industry estimates suggest the game could be revealed within one to two years, with a potential market release between 2027 and 2028.
