Sony Bend is working on a new open world IP

[Playstation Tablet 1,773]

"want us to continue to embrace the legacy of PlayStation, pushing the boundaries of gaming, keep making games that matter. Games that, probably, wouldn’t have been made anywhere else.

And you know, Bend Studio is working on a very exciting new IP that they’re very, very passionate about. They’re building on the deep open-world systems that they developed with Days Gone. So I’m really happy for Bend Studio."

I think that they were told to do something else, because Days Gone is just a little too similar in tone and premise to TLOU, and they are clearly going to continue with more TLOU.
