Bend Studio, known for its acclaimed title Days Gone, is in an uncertain moment after a decade marked by failures and project cancellations. The constant desires of the community for a sequel to Days Gone seem to be fading, despite the recent remastering of the game, which has raised more questions than answers about the future of this IP. While many players hope to step back into Deacon’s shoes, all indications are that their hopes may not materialize.
Bend Studio does not give in
The situation is further complicated by the recent failure of a canceled game as a service, which has led to staff cuts at the studio and a reevaluation of its future. In this context, Bend Studio has posted a job offer seeking a creative director for its next project, emphasizing the need for experience in multiplayer game development and design. This move suggests that the new title could focus on providing a more robust online experience, possibly attempting once again the path of a game as a service.
Although the new vacancy does not clarify whether the project will be completely online or will combine a campaign with cooperative or competitive elements, the community continues to cry out for a Days Gone 2. Some even speculate that this offer may be related to a cooperative mode within the Days Gone universe. However, there are no confirmations regarding this, and the studio’s past failures make their situation even more delicate.
With time as an ally, Bend Studio fans and Days Gone followers will have to wait to see what the next project from the Oregon team materializes into, while uncertainty continues to prevail in their near future.
