Bend Studio, the PlayStation developer behind Days Gone, will reportedly both reveal and release its next game in 2027, according to a report covered by VGC.

Two details stand out. First, the project is said not to be a live-service title — a meaningful data point given Sony's well-documented push into, and partial retreat from, the live-service space over the past few years. Second, the report claims the game is not Days Gone 2, closing the door, at least for now, on a sequel fans have lobbied for since the 2019 original found a second life on PC and through word of mouth.

A reveal-to-release window inside a single year would be unusually tight for a first-party PlayStation studio, suggesting the project is already deep in development. Bend has been quiet since Days Gone, with its previously reported live-service project believed to have been cancelled during Sony's portfolio reshuffle.

Neither Bend Studio nor Sony has confirmed the report, so the timing and details should be treated as unverified until an official announcement lands.
