Alfa Beta reports that the developers of Days Gone will launch their next game during 2027. Separately, Gameblog reports that Bend Studio is working on a new project after remaining discreet since the cancellation of its previous project. The supplied material does not provide official confirmation from Bend Studio or PlayStation of the game’s date, title or details.
Gameblog’s account places the project in the period after PlayStation cancelled Bend Studio’s previous game, while describing the studio as having kept a low profile since then. It also reports that the new project will not be a sequel to Days Gone, although its ultimate identity remains unclear: it could be a new intellectual property or a return for an older Bend Studio or PlayStation franchise.
The reported 2027 unveiling comes from MP1st information relayed by Gameblog, which cites anonymous sources described as close to Bend Studio. Those sources reportedly characterize the game as a third-person title with a cooperative component and say it is not expected to be a live-service game. Gameblog also describes the project as a leaked new PlayStation exclusive, rather than presenting that status as an official announcement.
The reports distinguish between when the project might be revealed and when it might arrive. Gameblog relays a claim that the game could be released in the year following its article’s publication, while stressing that the information is not definitive and could change. Alfa Beta’s report, meanwhile, places the next Days Gone developers’ launch during 2027; the supplied evidence does not establish an exact release date.
For now, the most concrete picture is of a Bend Studio project linked by multiple publications to 2027, with its format and possible cooperative elements coming from anonymous-source reporting. The title, exact schedule and whether the game belongs to a new or returning franchise remain unsettled in the supplied material.
