Days Gone Delayed To April 2019

Since the reveal of the anticipated open world zombie title Days Gone, many have been anticipating to finally play the game when it officially releases. With the initial launch set for late 2018 was pushed to February 2019, it seems fans of the title will have be a little bit more patient as the game has been delayed once again.

Sony Marketing Vice President Asad Qizilbash has made a statement regarding the choice to push the game past the planned February release, developer Bend Studio will use the extra time to polish the game as it reaches closer to the near two month delayed launch date. Qizilbash’s full statement:

We want to share a change in release date for this highly anticipated title from Bend Studio. We recently decided to move the release of Days Gone from the crowded February time frame to April 26, 2019. While the studio is eager to see Days Gone in the hands of fans, Bend Studio will take the opportunity to further polish Days Gone.

As PlayStation fans already know, Days Gone is an open-world action game set in the high-desert of the Pacific Northwest. Traversing harsh landscapes on their drifter bike, players must fight for resources as they attempt to survive broken roads, unpredictable weather, attacks from other human factions, infected wildlife and roaming Freakers — a brutal, dynamic world that is dangerous both day and night.

Which seems to be a fair release avoiding competition like Bioware’s Anthem and Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts 3 launching in late January. April seems to be a sweet spot when it comes to releasing first party title for Sony Interactive Entertainment looking back at this year for God of War. 

Days Gone will be available exclusively to PlayStation 4 on April 26, 2019.
