“We’re all smart and we understand that we have to create something commercial, but they’re not jamming that down our throat. “We always assume that places like EA and Activision are letting spreadsheets drive the decisions and that’s never been the case at Sony in my experience,” he said. Ross finishes by sending a bit of praise towards Sony, saying: I think fans should understand that before they really go off.” They’ve never been cash-rich, so they’ve got to be smart.

Ross, who has now joined Mortal Kombat creators NetherRealm, admits to Jaffe that he was working on a Days Gone 2 pitch and that his departure from Bend “had nothing to do with the status of the sequel” and was due to personal reasons. The reveal came from a live stream with God of War creator David Jaffe, where Ross spoke on topics that happened following his departure from Bend Studios and Bloomberg’s report last week about an unsuccessful Days Gone sequel pitched by Bend. We have just received confirmation from Days Gone director James Ross that a Days Gone 2 was indeed pitched to Sony, including plans for a shared universe and co-op play that never came to fruition.
