Days Gone 2 pitch included a "shared universe with co-op play"
♋Game director Jeff Ross outlined his plans for a seque🎃l

Days Gone 2 could have had co-op play, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Days Gone game director Jeff Ross has revealed.
Speaking with God of War creator David Jaffe during a livestream (as transcribed by ), Jeff Ross said that he had been working on a pitch for Days Gone 2, but that he didn't think that the status of a potential follow-up had even been confirmed, implying that his NDA with Sony prevented him from talking about it further. Ross eventual𒅌ly left Sony Bend, citing personal reasons that had "nothing to do with the status of the seque💜l."
While Ross didn't comment on the future of the series, he did reveal a handful of factors that might have lead Sony to think twice about commissioning another game. Sony Bend almost tripled in size during development, from 45 to 120 employees, a🍌nd while the project's starting budget was "big," the final cost was "a much hi🦄gher number." Sony never released sales figures for Days Gone, but Ross described the game as a commercial success in spite of its critical reception, which he labeled a "bloodbath."
Ross also outlined some of the features that might have made their way into a potential sequel, including𝐆 "a shared universe with co-op play," as well as some kind of base-building mechanic.
A report last week stated that Sony Bend's Days Gone 2 pitch 🔴had been "unsuccessful" in the aftermath of the 2019 release, and that the studio was now working on a new project. Ross didn't comment on those claims, but did corroborate the report's claim that some parts of the studio had been assigned to work with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog. According to the report, those projects were 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:an Uncharted game and a🎐nother multiplayer title, but those details haven't been confirmed either.
Sadly, Ross' NDA with🐼 Sony means that this discussion poses more questions than it answers, but it's interesting to get a sense of th💫e development costs associated with a major Sony publication. The door doesn't seem to have officially closed on Days Gone 2, but given the first game went over budget for a Metacritic score far below what Sony usually expects of its first-party games, it doesn't seem like the series' future is particularly bright.
