Deacon St. John, a Drifter and bounty hunter who would
rather risk the dangers of the broken road than live in one of the “safe”
wilderness encampments.
The game takes place two years after a global pandemic
has killed almost everyone, but transformed millions of others into what
survivors call Freakers – mindless, feral creatures, more animal than human but
very much alive and quickly evolving.
There are two types of Freaks – Newts, which were
adolescents when infected, are opportunistic hunters, preferring to hit and run
from the shadows; and a Horde. Made up of hundreds of individual Freakers,
Hordes eat, move and attack together, almost as one.
Some Hordes roam the highways at night, while others have
found a food source that keeps it in a single location. Skills learned in his
prior life as an outlaw biker have given Deacon a slight edge in the seemingly
never-ending fight to stay alive.
In a world devastated by a global pandemic, St. John avoids
the supposedly safe camps in the wilderness established by the last survivors
of humanity and seeks his fortune on the ruined streets. Fight your way through
the desolate landscape in search of supplies, resources and, above all, a
reason to go on living.
Sony Interactive Entertainment and the in-house Bend Studio announced today that the release of Days Gone will be postponed for around two months. As a result, the open-world biker zombie action game will be released on April 26, 2019 - about two months after the originally scheduled date.
"We recently decided to postpone Days Gone's release from the crowded
February, and while developers are already looking forward to seeing Days Gone
in the hands of fans, Bend Studio will take the opportunity to further polish
the title," it says in the announcement.
