There’s no zombie-like resurrection coming: on Friday, Jeff Ross, the game director of Days Gone, revealed that a sequel would never be forthcoming as the publishers, Sony, were never truly “fans” of the franchise.

In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Ross explained that Days Gone’s discontinuation was a ‘purely portfolio-based’ decision. With the success of The Last of Us, a legendary zombie-themed hit, Sony felt that another game in the same genre was unnecessary. “They already had a zombie game, so why would they need the lesser-performing title.” he further explained.
