Days Gone studio’s next PlayStation exclusive to be revealed and released in 2027, according to new report

Bend Studio, the developer behind Days Gone, is reportedly deep in development on its next PlayStation exclusive title. According to sources cited by MP1st, the game is scheduled to be both announced and released in 2027.

The upcoming title will feature third-person perspective with co-op support, continuing Bend’s preferred gameplay approach. Sony has confirmed the game will not include live service elements, positioning it against the industry’s prevalent games-as-a-service model. While details about the game’s identity remain undisclosed, the report confirms it is not a Days Gone sequel, leaving open the possibility of either a new IP or an existing franchise revival.

Sources indicate the project is substantially further along in development than publicly known, suggesting Bend Studio is well-positioned for the aggressive 2027 announcement and release timeline. This represents a significant opportunity for Bend to establish itself beyond Days Gone’s mixed reception, though specific gameplay details and the project’s full scope remain under wraps.
