According to that report, the project is not a Days Gone sequel and will not be a live service game. It is described as a new IP, which would mark a shift from the studio's previous single-player titles.

Bend has previously confirmed that its next game is a new IP with multiplayer elements and systems inspired by Days Gone. The reported co-op angle is consistent with that statement, though the studio has not confirmed it.

Setting, gameplay and platforms are unknown. The 2027 reveal timing is part of the unconfirmed report.
