Bend Studio's Unannounced Projects: A Look at Canceled Games and Future Prospects

2025-07-14 22:51:42

Bend Studio, the Oregon-based developer behind Days Gone, has reportedly shelved multiple unannounced projects in recent years. Since the 2019 release of Days Gone, the studio has maintained a low profile, with only a 2025 remaster of the title marking its output. However, behind the scenes, the team appears to have been actively developing several games that never reached completion.

Earlier this year, reports surfaced about Sony canceling a live-service project from Bend Studio, alongside a similar God of War title from Bluepoint Games. This decision disappointed many fans, especially given the rumors circulating about Bend's live-service ambitions prior to the cancellation. New information suggests this wasn't the only project to meet this fate at the studio.

Latest Game Information

Recent revelations from a former employee's LinkedIn profile, shared by industry leaker Timur222, indicate Bend worked on "multiple canceled/unannounced projects" between late 2019 and June 2025. The profile suggests at least one of these was an open-world experience, though whether this refers to the known live-service cancellation or additional projects remains unclear.

Latest Game Information

The exact number and nature of these canceled games remain mysterious. Legal constraints likely prevent former employees from disclosing specific details. Previous leaks had hinted at an Uncharted project in development around 2020 that never received an official announcement, which may be among the referenced cancellations.

Looking ahead, Bend Studio's future direction appears uncertain. Director Jeff Ross has confirmed that a Days Gone sequel won't materialize due to lack of executive interest at Sony. Despite recent layoffs and project cancellations, the studio continues operations, leaving fans to speculate about what might come next from the veteran developer.
