We’ve got some big news to share. The fan campaign for a sequel to our beloved game, Days Gone, has reached feverish heights.
Do you remember the Change.org petition that was started back in April 2021?
Well, it just broke through the 200,000 signatures barrier! This is a huge milestone, and to make things even better, the target has been raised to an even more ambitious 300,000.
I’ve honestly never seen so much demand for a game sequel before. It really speaks volumes about how much we loved the first game and how much potential there is for another one.
But now that there’s such a large number of people backing it up, what’s going to happen?
Will Sony and Bend Studios take notice?
The Petition Progress
A lot has happened since “Get Sony PlayStation to Approve Days Gone 2” went live online — and all thanks to you, our passionate community!
Even though the game came out five years ago already, your dedication has not wavered one bit.
In fact, it’s stronger than ever! As I write this article now, the petition boasts a staggering 214936 supporters…
Let’s take a moment to appreciate that – nearly a quarter of a million supporters rallying for the sequel of Days Gone.
And not only that — we’re seeing an average flow of almost a thousand new signatories-per-day coming in.
But we can’t stop here. We still have 300k in sight of which we will push beyond as far as our collective passion takes us.
If you are yet to sign it then do so now!
Add your voice to the call for Days Gone 2. And don’t forget to spread the word.

The Director’s Tweet
John Garvin, the director of the Days Gone game brought some excitement into the gaming community with one tweet.
On Dec 5th, 2023, he retweeted a post by PlayStation Forever (a small but dedicated fan account with about 1500 followers) which shared a screenshot of an article titled “Days Gone is a technological marvel that deserves a PS5 sequel, fans agree”.
His response was simple,
Hey yeah… why isn’t there a sequel?
Needless to say, this one tweet set the fans on fire.
Now I know what you’re thinking. ‘Well, it’s just a tweet and from an account that’s not even that big’. But, to me, this is more than that. This is proof that we are being acknowledged.
Our constant discussion about wanting DG2 is reaching the right people. They’re seeing our tweets, posts, petitions — all our love for this game.
So while this tweet isn’t an official green light for Days Gone 2, it’s definitely something.
And it’s all thanks to your relentless support and passion! They are watching, they are listening; let us hope they are planning too.
