The open world title is the first AAA title by Bend Studios (Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Syphon 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.

The second game wasn’t particularly memorable, but the first is very much a classic. I remember it was one of the first open-world games I was truly excited about. Yes, I was one of those sad souls who spent countless hours collecting all of those orbs.
