Sadly, in terms of a sequel, it seems thatSonyhas no intention of greenlighting the project despite fans forming apassionate petitionpleading for it to happen. The dismissiveness from Sony is even more baffling when you consider thatDays Gonehas shifted a reported and respectable, eight million copies.
Yet despite the unwillingness to greenlightDays Gone 2, the former game director at Bend Studio, John Garvin revealed plans on Twitter to release a trilogy. “I wrote a cliffhanger into the ending ofDays Gonewith the full intention of there being a trilogy (NOT just a sequel),” said Garvin replying to a fan.

Inanother tweet, Garvin revealed that he had worked on a pitch forDays Gone 2for weeks, which included a script draft, a map and concept art. Yet, it seems that no matter how small, Garvin still has a glimmer of hope that we might at least get a sequel.
“Maybe in a couple of years when the IP is gathering dust and they’re sure they’re done with it, they’ll [Sony] licence it to other devs… but again, not holding my breath,” hetweeted. “If nothing else I’d love to write a novel or graphic novel, so at least you fans would get closure to the cliffhanger.”
Even though I never warmed to it initially, I loved my playthrough ofDays Gone, so much so that I got a platinum trophy for it and I would love to see a sequel. Sadly, however, much like John Garvin, I won’t be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
For the time being at least, we just have to make do with playing the originalDays Goneon PC and PlayStation.
