A shiny new look for Days Gone devsBend Studio, the Sony subsidiary behind survival horror wilderness title Days Gone, announced that it has started development on a brand new project ? one that it hopes will advance the open-world adventure, excitement, and engagement of its aforementioned monster-bashing biker epic.
"We are currently working on a new IP that includes multiplayer and builds upon the open-world systems of Days Gone, but brings you a whole new world that we are extremely excited to craft for you," said community manager Kevin McAllister in comments to PlayStation Blog. (https://blog.playstation.com/2022/06/07/a-new-look-for-bend-studios-future-and-a-look-back-at-its-past/) "We cannot wait to reveal it to you when the time is right."
The comments come almost a year to the day that Bend Studio announced it would venturing into new IP territory for its next project, news that came as something of a consolation prize to the controversial story (https://www.destructoid.com/naughty-dog-reportedly-working-on-ps5-remake-of-the-last-of-us-as-sony-shifts-focus-to-big-budget-blockbusters/) that a Days Gone sequel was canned by Sony, despite the team feeling very passionate toward the idea of creating one. As I said at the time (https://www.destructoid.com/bend-studio-new-ip-project-playstation/), you sometimes have to "do the thing to do the thing", and if Bend delivers a major hit for Sony with this new project, then perhaps the parent company will see to making Days Gone 2 a reality.
In related news, Bend Studio also revealed its new branding, complete with a snazzy new logo. The company has opened up numerous job listings for a wide variety of designers, coders, artists and animators. You can check out the vacancies over on the official Bend Studio website.
