Days Gone Studio Bend Reportedly Has Its Next PlayStation Exclusive Set for 2027

Bend Studio rarely gets the spotlight among PlayStation's first-party teams, but a new report suggests it has been working for some time on its next game. According to the report, the studio's next PlayStation exclusive will be revealed and released in 2027.

Bend is best known for Days Gone, the 2019 open-world survival action game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon. It drew a dedicated fanbase even though critics were divided on it. A follow-up from the same studio would be a big moment for a team that has kept a relatively low public profile for years.

The report offers a timeline but little else. It does not name the project, describe its genre, or say whether 2027 refers to a full reveal, a first teaser, or the launch itself. Until Sony or Bend comments, the date should be treated as a report rather than an announcement.

A 2027 target would give Bend a long development runway, which is common for first-party titles, but it also leaves room for schedules to shift. Fans should watch PlayStation's official channels and Bend's own accounts for confirmation before treating the timeline as settled.
