PS4 Exclusive Horror ‘Days Gone’ Has Been Delayed

Published

on

Sony has announced the release of the PS4 exclusive post-apocalyptic title (no, not that one) Days Gone has been pushed back.

The open world title is the first AAA title by Bend Studios (Uncharted: Golden AbyssSyphon Filter), and had originally been scheduled to release February 22, 2019. Now, the game will launch on April 26 instead.

The reason? Sony says it’s to add more polish, but also admits the original February timeframe was heavily crowded, which can be massively unforgiving for a new IP. February’s releases include Crackdown 3, Metro Exodus, and Bioware’s Anthem, which were all launching the same day as Days Gone initially.

March would clearly have been little better for Days Gone, as that month features Devil May Cry 5, The Sinking City, The Division 2, and From Software’s highly-anticipated Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. April is much quieter at present, and Sony has had a knack for timing the releases of its bigger exclusives outside the crazier times of the year.

In Days Gone, you roam a post-apocalyptic world with the help of your trusty motorcycle and try your best to avoid the rabid hordes of infected humans known as ‘Freakers’, treacherous weather conditions and infected wildlife.

In the same announcement, Sony also gave a release window of Spring 2019 for another exclusive, Concrete Genie. In that game, you play as a bullied teenager named Ash who escapes his troubles by painting spectacular living landscapes and mischievous creatures. That’s looking gorgeous and is definitely one to look out for.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
