‘I Think We’ll See That in the Next Year or Two’: Days Gone Dev Could Reveal New Project Soon
Bend Studio, the Oregon-based developer behind Days Gone, continues to navigate significant challenges after a difficult period for Sony’s first-party studios. The studio’s live service project was cancelled in 2025, following Sony’s broader restructuring that also resulted in the cancellation of Bluepoint Games’ God of War title.
Despite these setbacks, there are signs of optimism regarding future work. Studio leadership has suggested that announcements about new projects could arrive within the next one to two years, indicating that Bend is actively developing its next venture. The developer remains operational, though recent years have presented considerable headwinds across multiple Sony-owned studios.
The cancellation of the live service game reflects shifting priorities within the industry, where such projects have become increasingly central to major publishers’ strategies. Bend Studio’s ability to develop and announce new projects will be critical for its long-term viability within Sony’s first-party portfolio.
