Bend Studio's new project in development
Bend Studio, the developer behind the Days Gone game, is reportedly working on a new third-person co-op game set for a 2027 release, according to reports from ActuGaming.net and MP1st. This comes after the studio faced challenges, including layoffs following the cancellation of an unnamed service game.Shift from service game to co-op shooter
The new game is described as a third-person shooter that supports cooperative play, but it is not a service game. A service game typically refers to a game that offers ongoing content or subscriptions, often with persistent online features, but this project appears to take a different approach.Development progress and repurposed elements
Development of the new game is said to be well underway, with some elements from the canceled service game project possibly being repurposed. This suggests the studio is reusing some of its previous work to streamline the development process and reduce costs.Release timeline and future plans
The game is expected to be officially announced in 2027, with a potential release date if everything proceeds smoothly. This would mark Bend Studio's return to the gaming scene with a new project after the challenges it has faced in recent years.
