Sounds like a sequel isn't in the cards apparently. I'm a little sad to hear that. Bend certainly could've continued the story and improved upon what they already had accomplished. I am now interested in whatever Bend has coming next either way. I guess it's supposed to be a GAAS title, which also isn't really my jam, but after Days Gone I could totally see them being able to make something worthy. There's plenty of content in Days Gone. Way more than I was expecting.

Bend management didn't want to do a sequel. Though why Sony is doing a movie then is weird haha 

Their new game is still a SP title, it just incorporates MP/ live service elements which is what they wanted to do with Days Gone 2 iirc.

Well the Days Gone story was kinda left in a manner that could go either way. Leave it as a standalone title or build on it and turn it into a franchise. It wasn't as successful as some other first party titles on PS4, but still sold quite well overall, yet that doesn't guarantee the studio wants to continue on with it regardless. If their creativity is taking them in another direction, then assuming Bend can succeed at that as well, you're better off letting them if you're SNY.

I think Days Gone could totally work as a movie. Most big budget pandemic/zombie type movies seem to do well and I myself have enjoyed most of the one's I've watched. Though I'm not a big fan of what they did with TLOU TV series, so it depends a lot on how they execute the film.

That peaks my interest. One thing I thought when playing Days Gone, especially with the hoards was, 'this would be that much more fun if there was a few of us or an entire group'. Some of my friends couldn't get into the game in the past and I talked to them about Days Gone recently and they agreed it would've been more fun and more likely to keep them playing if it was multiplayer online. They are certainly more so part of the casual gaming audience and that large group tends to much prefer MP to SP.
