Along with the Speedrun mode, the photo mode is getting its fair share of improvements. Players will now be able to switch the time of day, a new lighting system, new logo options, and more.
Will there be a Days Gone 2?
The original launched way back in 2019 and received mixed reception from fans and critics alike. Over the years and after multiple patches & fixes, Days Gone became a cult classic for many. Being a one-of-a-kind open-world zombie survival experience with its unique mechanics and cast of characters. While a successful hit, Sony refused to greenlight it due to lackluster sales at just 9 Million copies sold.
9 Mill aint bad but then again Sony expected it to sell like The Last of Us or the Uncharted Series. And now the once-lost Days Gone 2 Sequel might finally see the light of day once again.
And this might be what Sony needs to reassure itself as it might be testing the waters with the sales numbers of Days Gone Remastered. The game has garnered a cult following and is one of the most beloved titles from the PlayStation 4 era of games. Days Gone 2 has been a long-time dream for fans and Bend Studios alike. (Fingers crossed for this one!)
