A game nearest and dearest to our hearts, with our good partners at Climax Studios, we strived to make this the definitive way to play Days Gone for new and returning players. Step into the dirt flecked shoes of former outlaw biker Deacon St. John and feel his desperate struggle for survival in a brutal open world ravaged by feral creatures known as Freakers.
DualSense controller support*
Feel the intensity of Days Gone with its full use of the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Ride across the Broken Road and feel the rumble of your bike’s engine or the wheels gripping the dirt roads in the palm of your hands. Lose yourself in the unique environment of the Pacific Northwest with weather haptics including rain and thunder. Get to grips with the distinct feel and resistance of various weapons from Deacon’s arsenal while fighting your way through hordes of Freakers.
New Accessibility features
Accessible play is important to us at Bend Studio. Days Gone Broken Road DLC gave us the opportunity to expand our suite of accessibility features, allowing even more players to enjoy our world. To highlight a few of these new settings, Days Gone includes High Contrast mode, Game Speed, UI Narration, Collectible Audio Cues, and more.
Days Gone is also receiving new content to play!
Horde Assault – A survival arcade mode
Experience an all-new way to play Days Gone! Horde Assault offers fresh and unexpected gameplay designed to challenge your skills as you try to achieve a high score while surviving as long as possible against increased horde sizes and various other enemies, like vicious survivors and evolved Freakers. And yes, we said increased horde sizes. Good luck.
Travel across familiar regions found in the story including the Cascade, Belknap, Lost Lake, and Crater Lake. But be warned: This World Comes For You. Fight your way through a brutal, ever-changing landscape where enemies escalate in difficulty the longer you survive. Move up in level to earn in-mode rewards with never-before-playable characters, new patch cosmetics, and unique Injectors to greatly impact your gameplay experience. Stay tuned for more information on Horde Assault coming soon!
Permadeath mode
Do you have the skill – and nerve – to take on the ultimate challenge by attempting to finish the compelling story of Deacon St. John’s journey in one single playthrough without dying?
In a world where everything is out to kill you, your skills will be tested to the limit and mastery is required to conquer Permadeath mode. If you meet your unfortunate end, you must either return to the beginning of the game or the start of the second act and try your luck again – dependent on which setting you choose. Achieve this great feat and be rewarded with a special graphic recording your time it took to complete, unique stats like how many Freakers you killed during your playthrough, and more.
