Bend Studio recently posted an image of Rina Sawayama on its official Twitter account, wearing the same biker set-up worn by the game's protagonist, Deacon St. John. Because of this, fans are wondering if a sequel to Days Gone will be announced soon.
Unfortunately, upon further investigation, Bend Studio isn't the only studio posting marketing material for its iconic games.
PlayStation Playmakers, announced earlier this year, are a "dynamic talent network that will continue to evolve and grow," Sony claims that the people included are part of its "journey to inspire gaming fans and prove the power of play.
Even though the rumor is now officially debunked, fan forever for a sequel remains relentless, with debates, theories, and discussions persisting on platforms like Reddit. Even Days Gone's director, which has since left Bend Studio, chimed in, as he recently revealed that a sequel would already have been on the market if given the green light. However, it's important to remember that fan pressure doesn't always translate to production decisions.
If a sequel were to be announced, it might differ significantly from what fans have envisioned. The original Days Gone was an anomaly within the AAA gaming space, as the entire script was penned by a person than a team. Now that John Garvin is working on a different project, a potential sequel to Days Gone is likely never going to happen. But, one thing is certain: if Days Gone 2 were to come to fruition, it wouldn't lack material to build upon.
