I'm surprised Sony Bend management didn't want to pursue a Days Gone sequel, but were more than happy to pursue a live service title.
I'd like to know more about that project because I do wonder how much of it could just be pivoted (salvaged?) to a single player (co-op) concept.
I think what's really strange about this news is that I would not have assumed either would've gone into the live service model, they just aren't big enough. I know Bend had live service experience required for their game, but that also could've easily just been part of the push for Days Gone 2 (which was going to have MP elements).
Anyways, too bad. Feels like wasted potential for both of these studios.

Well, Bluepoint helped with Ragnarok so anything is possible I suppose.
| BasilZero said: Bluepoint does more remasters and remakes right? The God of War Spartan Hero collection rumor a while back, hopefully its that. |
They're trying to move away from remakes last I recall. As in they were working on an original IP.
Can't say I care so much for a GoW collection when they could easily just put all the games onto PS Classics and be done with it. I'd prefer the rumoured Atreus game tbqh.
