Days Gone 2 should've happened. The first game, while not a critical hit, sold well enough to outsell all the previous games by Bend Studio combined, as per the game's director. While the official sales numbers are a bit all over the place, the fact remains that people are still talking about Days Gone to this day. Thus, it begs the question, why didn't Sony greenlight a sequel to Days Gone?
We don't have a proper answer to this question but Ross did have a heartbreaking update regarding the shelved sequel.
According to Ross, Days Gone 2 could've been released last month if Bend Studio had just "stuck to our guns."
Ross has been very vocal about his distaste regarding the cancelation.
Previously, Ross encouraged fans to sign a petition to have the Days Gone sequel made just as the PC version was about to come out. Since then, Ross has discussed in length why he thinks the sequel never got made and probably, never will. Ross even lashed out at "woke reviewers" for the average critical reception of the game, which, as per his earlier claims, sold more than 8 million copies on the PS4 before selling a few million more once it came out on the PC.
