Days Gone
Days Gone is an immersive open-world action-adventure game crafted by Bend Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Launched in April 2019 for PlayStation 4 and subsequently for PC in May 2021, players are thrust into a gripping post-apocalyptic universe where they assume the role of Deacon St. John, a rugged drifter and bounty hunter. This expansive landscape is teeming with “Freakers,” horrifying zombie-like creatures spawned from a global pandemic.
The gameplay emphasizes exploration, intense combat, and survival mechanics, allowing players to wield a variety of weapons, craft essential supplies, and enhance Deacon’s motorcycle—crucial for navigating the vast and perilous terrain. Days Gone successfully blends narrative-driven missions within a rich open world, brimming with dynamic events, enemy strongholds, and environmental obstacles that keep the gameplay engaging and unpredictable.
In the gripping narrative of Days Gone, players follow Deacon St. John, a rugged former outlaw and drifter, as he quests for meaning in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by a pandemic that has transformed much of humanity into vicious, mindless creatures known as Freakers. Motivated by the slim hope that his wife, Sarah, could still be alive, Deacon bravely navigates the treacherous landscape of the Pacific Northwest, battling hostile factions, terrifying threats, and his own haunting memories. As he struggles to survive in this relentless environment, Deacon forges new alliances, confronts his tumultuous past, and unravels the mystery of his wife’s fate, revealing profound truths about resilience and heartbreak in a world on the brink.
