Kevin McAllister, the community manager of Bend Studio, apologized to fans for having been “continuously deluded by false hopes and bad information from people looking for likes” regarding a potential sequel to Days Gonewhich evidently is not in development and never will be, at least for the next few years.
McAllister also confirmed that the study is working on a completely new intellectual propertywhich further rules out a potential Days Gone 2.
Fake news
More specifically, the full message, posted on We are currently working on a new IP and when we have concrete news to share, it will come directly to us.”
Although McAllister did not name those who allegedly gave this false information, many have linked his message to a recent release by John Gavinthe creative director of Days Gone, who in a post on X dating back to June 24, had explained that the open ending of Days Gone was behind the idea of creating a trilogy. Gavin’s post was then picked up by the press, who spoke more subtly of confirmation of the existence of a trilogy. Hence the false hopes of the fans.
Garvin also responded to a fan on X who asked about a possible Days Gone 2: “Man, never say never.” Then adding that Sony “could change its mind” and decide to approve a sequel. It should be noted that he has been out of Bend Studio for years now, so he speaks only for himself.
The substance is that Days Gone 2 does not exist and that it probably will not exist in the future, considering how much some PlayStation executives, in particular Hermen Hulst, current CEO of the company, did not like the original game.
