    What other treasures/settings would you like to see explored in future #Uncharted titles?

    This is what I said: If a game doesn't make money, it's probably not going to get a sequel. That's a financial, marketing, and business fact. I can't believe this is shocking news to some of you. Also, I wasn't even talking about Days Gone, I haven't been at Bend Studio in ...(1

    We want to know: do you think Days Gone 2 on PS5 should happen? bit.ly/3FnzW9B

    Having worked with this dude for a decade or so, I can attest that he’s one of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met.
    Don't you'll ever forget this man single handedly destroyed Xbox over two generations of PlayStation 4 and now the greatest console EVER to be designed the PLAYSTATION 5! This man is a genius who is changing the gaming landscape!

    Kinda sad that Deek has been reduced to promoting other games … well done Bend Studio! Way to protect your legacy!
    His job is beach. Big congrats to our friends @TeamAsobi on the launch of ASTRO BOT! 🥳💙

Before the water sits a sandy beach with two robot dogs jumping in the air trying to reach a colorful beach ball. A sand castle with a small blue shovel sits at the bottom right corner of the image.

    Days Gone turns 5 this month. It is one of the most underrated and most under appreciated title from the PlayStation 4 console generation. #DaysGone #BendStudio

    Haha, I see my character reduced to a cartoon schill promoting some small game and I’m being harsh? Sit down, my brotha, adults are talking
    Replying to @John_Garvin
    Calm down my brotha. It's not because Sony doesn't have the prestige in producing Days Gone 2 that you need to be harsh with the entire studio like that. You were the creative director of the game, you brought this character to life. Don't keep that magic stored away.

    Even though I am not currently connected in any way to Sony or Bend Studio, #DaysGone will always be mine and I appreciate all of you who have played it and support it and who ride the broken road with me… as Iron Mike would say, the world’s not gonna save itself … ride hard!
