Report: Bend Studio's next PlayStation game could be revealed and released in 2027
MP1st reports that Days Gone studio Bend's next game is a third-person title with co-op and no live service, set to be shown and released in 2027.
Sony's Bend Studio is said to be well into its next game, with a reveal and a release both planned for 2027. The claim comes from MP1st, citing people familiar with the studio, and was reported by Eurogamer on November 3, 2026. Sony has not confirmed it.
Unconfirmed: this is based on a report and has not been officially confirmed.
What the report says
Like Days Gone, the new project is said to be a third-person game. It is said to support co-op play but has no live-service elements. The report does not say whether it is a new series or an existing one, only that it is not Days Gone 2, and it describes the game as further along than people might expect.
A rough few years for Bend
Days Gone came out in 2019. In 2022 Bend said its next project was a new IP that built on Days Gone's open-world systems and added multiplayer. Two years later a job listing described a big-budget live-service game in development there. Sony cancelled that project in 2025, and layoffs followed a few months later. The studio has said almost nothing publicly since.
The new report suggests Bend moved straight onto this game after the live-service cancellation, which would explain how it could be ready to show and ship within the same year.
What to watch for
Sony usually reveals first-party games at State of Play broadcasts, so that is where a Bend announcement would most likely appear. Until then, treat the details here as a report rather than a confirmed plan.
