Game Overview:
Days Gone is an open world action-adventure title developed by SIE Bend Studio, who are also known for their work on the Syphon Filter series.
The game is set in the backdrop of a deadly apocalyptic outbreak, which has ravaged the world and turned most of its population into aggressive zombie-like creatures.
Former Sony Bend director John Garvin feels Days Gone protagonist Deacon St. John has been "reduced to a cartoon shill promoting some small game."

Recent reports have brought interesting details about the cancelled sequel to light- what the hell happened to it?
The former director of Days Gone, Jeff Ross, talks about him finding one of the boss fights in the game terrible, and how budget constraints affected the pacing.
Former Days Gone director recently stated that the game had sold at least as much as 9 million units- though that may not be entirely accurate.
Despite selling even more after his departure, Jeff Ross says, "Local studio management always made us feel like it was a big disappointment."
The Steam pages for Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and God of War all mention PlayStation PC as their publisher.
SIE Bend Studio wanted to make "not only a good PC game in general" but also "a [good] port," says lead designer Eric Jensen.
