Hell's angels
Post-apocalyptic open world undead-‘em-up Days Gone will ride to the PlayStation 4 in 2018, Worldwide Studios chief Shuhei Yoshida told Greg Miller as part of a PSX 2017 panel. The title was previously undated, but Sony’s been pretty weird with release windows in the last couple of years, refusing to commit to anything until the...

Dangerously different
Days Gone had a big gameplay demo at Sony's E3 2017 press conference, but apparently, more of the zombie-ridden title was shown behind closed doors.

News Days Gone's PS4 Release Date Hasn't Leaked At All
Someone call the Freakers
Games media, we understand it’s been a long week, but please engage your brains: the Days Gone release date hasn’t leaked, otherwise Sony would have said it on stage during its press conference this week. You know this, we know this, so quit trying to deceive your readers by capitalising on what’s clearly a mistake...
E3 2017 Days Gone Is a Deadly, Dynamic Open World Game
Play your way
One thing you may not know about Days Gone is that it’s massively dynamic. This week’s E3 2017 demo may have looked scripted, but the game actually alters and adapts depending on the conditions in the open world. Sony Bend is showing off an “alternate” playthrough behind closed doors to demonstrate this, but it popped up on the...

Days Gone made not one but two appearances during Sony’s E3 press conference last year, and word is it’ll appear in a “big way” during this year’s showcase. Actor Sam Witwer who plays the lead character teased the appearance as part of a Twitch stream, but naturally stopped short of sharing any...

News Days Gone Dev Sony Bend Moving to New Digs After Rapid Expansion
Studio has more than doubled in size
As work on Days Gone continues, Sony Bend is growing at a rapid pace. A report published by Oregon newspaper The Bulletin notes that the infamously low-profile firm is to occupy a new office this fall, as it begins to outgrow its current digs. Apparently, the studio has expanded from 45 to 103 employees recently,...
News PS4 Exclusive Days Gone Is Unlikely to Saddle Up in August
Release date probably hasn't leaked
You know the drill by now: retailer reveals placeholder release date for anticipated PlayStation 4 game and websites go in search of SEO by spreading the most baseless of rumours.

Video Days Gone on PS4 Pro May Be the Best Looking Game Ever
The broken road
It doesn't happen often in this industry anymore, but seeing a demo of Days Gone at Sony's big PlayStation 4 Pro showcase actually surprised us this week. The game looked pretty at E3 2016, no question – but running on the Japanese giant's supercharged hardware it's actually a candidate for the greatest looking game ever made. No...

E3 2016 Escape the Undead in Extended Days Gone PS4 Demo
World War Z
A few years ago, Shuhei Yoshida said that Sony Bend's game would make people panic – and now we know what he meant. Days Gone is clearly still quite early – the developer's using placeholder sound effects and animations for its E3 2016 demo – but it definitely appears to have the nugget of a neat idea. And that concept all...
E3 2016 PS4 Exclusive Days Gone Has a Heavy Weather Component
Motorcycle is being treated like a character
Days Gone – which we previously expected to be named Dead Don't Ride – surprised us in a good way at E3 2016. We'd anticipated a hammy, heavy metal vibe – but the biker culture that surrounds this post-apocalyptic release actually seems understated and thoughtfully done. But we don't know a whole...
