Do you have the skill – and nerve – to survive the horrors of a broken world in this massive open world action adventure?
Step into the dirt flecked shoes of former outlaw biker Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter trying to find a reason to live in a land surrounded by death. Scavenge through abandoned settlements for equipment to craft valuable items and weapons, or take your chances with other survivors trying to eke out a living through fair trade… or more violent means.
With humanity devastated by a global pandemic and ravaged by feral creatures known as Freakers, any mistake could be your last in your attempt to carve out a new life in the hostile Pacific Northwest high desert.
A Dynamic World Using the power of PlayStation 4 and Unreal Engine 4, Days Gone offers an incredibly realistic and detailed open world action game experience. Vast and hostile environments can be fully explored on the back of Deacon’s drifter bike. Abandoned vehicles can be searched for useful items. Towns and buildings can be entered and searched – at great risk. All lighting is done in real time – eye adaption technology creates a real sense of dread when entering dark buildings; day and night have an impact on the experience; weather affects enemy behavior.
Brutal Sandbox Combat Exemplifying true, free form gameplay, Days Gone offers freedom to explore, strategize and play “your way.” Every challenge can be approached and completed in an almost infinite number of ways. Many different items and weapons can be crafted using items found in the field, including brutal melee weapons and traps. Customizable weapons and skills offer true freedom in how the game is played.
Unique Enemies In addition to human drifters, marauders, and other groups, Deacon must face a wilderness overrun by Freakers – mindless, feral creatures, more animal than human but very much alive and quickly evolving. Freakers have needs, habits and behaviors that the player can learn and adapt to.
Unique Setting The harsh high desert of the Pacific Northwest offers a large variety of environments in a single geographical area. One minute Deacon can be riding through a pristine forest, a snow field, a lush meadow, and the next, be in the harsh desert lava fields. The hazardous environments, scarred by millions of years of volcanic activity, are defined by ancient lava flows, mountains, caves, cliffs and river basins, delivering a breathtaking backdrop to an equally diverse style of gameplay. Cinnabar mines, lava tube caves and small rural towns offer a variety of environments to explore.
Two years after a global pandemic wipes out most of humanity, Days Gone presents the dangerous wilderness of Pacific Northwest haunted by spine-chilling creatures lurking at every corner. You play as Deacon, who drives a fast-track motorbike on dusty roads to clear off Freakers from certain areas and retrieve crucial items. The open-world setting of the Days Gone PS4 game offers alternate walkthrough paths to the player, forming a complex storyline. Apart from the undead Freakers, the players must combat human vandals, local militia who’d fall to any level to get their hands on the resources, and drifting marauders.
Environment That Changes Course
The Days Gone PlayStation 4 game starts off with a harsh desert setting but undergoes environmental change as the story progresses. The player gets to navigate weather extremes in the alpine wilderness and snowy terrains or scavenge mechanical parts and resources in deserted towns infested with Freakers.
Mutative Enemies
The Freakers and human enemies are responsive to the changing weather conditions and adapt their behavioral patterns to become habitual to the setting they are in. This introduces an element of uncertainty for the players, wherein they have to strategically determine what is the best time of the day to embark on a particular quest.
