If you haven’t heard, there were some rumors about a Days Gone sequel, which sparked a series of back-and-forth responses from officials. And it seems we have a new one, as former director John Garvin clashed with Bend Studio’s community manager, Kevin McAllister, on social media.
Garvin, known for his outspoken views on the sequel’s potential, reiterated his stance in response to McAllister’s apology to fans. Garvin responded aggressively, highlighting his role in creating the game and questioning McAllister’s qualifications.
Was John Garvin’s Days Gone 2 Tease Completely Fake?
McAllister’s apology, posted on social media, expressed regret over fans being misled by “false hope” surrounding the sequel.
His remarks came amidst ongoing speculation and fan outcry over the future of the beloved franchise.
While McAllister refrained from naming individuals, the fallout from Garvin’s earlier remarks about trilogy plans filled the Days Gone community with a lot of hope.
Garvin’s history with the game includes controversial statements about its reception by Sony and critics, attributing its mixed reviews to technical issues and alleged biases among reviewers.
Despite having moved on to other projects, both Garvin and Ross frequently reference Days Gone in their social media posts. Their ongoing discussions about the game and its unfulfilled potential continue to resonate with fans.
They have expressed their disappointment that the game was never given the chance to evolve into a full-fledged series, despite the groundwork they had laid for future installments.
Bend Studio, meanwhile, has shifted focus to other projects, including a new IP. McAllister emphasized this in his apology as a priority for the studio.
The community’s divided response reflects ongoing sentiments about the studio’s direction post-Days Gone. Fans share Garvin’s vision for continued support from Sony while others urge a focus on the studio’s current projects.
Days Gone Really Has The Most Hopeful Fanbase
Despite the controversy, some fans remain hopeful. They believe that public support and vocal demand might eventually persuade Sony to reconsider a sequel.
Garvin himself has hinted that he would be ready to return if given the opportunity, suggesting that all is not entirely lost for the franchise’s future.
In the end, the drama surrounding Days Gone‘s potential sequel is far from over. While McAllister urges fans to look forward, Garvin’s defiant stance keeps the hope for a continuation alive.
Fans are left to wonder if their beloved post-apocalyptic world will ever be revisited or if it will remain a one-off venture.
Whether this public discord will have any impact on Sony’s future decisions remains to be seen, but for now, Days Gone 2 remains a topic of debate and speculation among fans.
