It has been said many times before that the Kingsley brothers were born to make games. Chris, the younger of the two, built his very first computer – all sixteen bytes of it – at the tender age of eleven. Jason, meanwhile, practiced his creativity via an infatuation with Dungeons and Dragons; drawing maps and landscapes on paper for people to play on.
Both went on to work in the industry as freelancers, and two Oxford University degrees later they established their own development company. Aptly enough for their youth, the two named the group Rebellion.
Nearly two decades later, Rebellion sits as one of the biggest development companies in the world today. Its work spans key franchises from the Simpsons to Star Wars, along with prized titles such as the 1999 PC edition of Aliens versus Predator.
Days Gone developer appears to be moving well outside its comfort zone in order to join Sony's ongoing foray into live-service games.

This game will determine the fate of Sony Bend. Not looking to good if it's a live service game.
I'm going to say this as someone who really enjoyed Days Gone
Why would you go and create an open world, multiplayer game with live service elements if you're previous game which was only a single player title came out flawed?
Wouldn't you want to create a new single player game to refine and fix your last mistakes to master what you were going for the first time before jumping into uncharted territories with online, multiplayer and live service which is a completely different beast entirely.
I can't be the only who thinks this right?
Just seems like your setting yourself up for failure in my opinion, you're giving yourself and your team bigger challenges to overcome in an already oversaturated market, a market where live service games made by people who are used to online and multiplayer are even struggling themselves.
It might be good, who knows, but at the moment it just seems they are biting off more than they can chew.
I full expect to see this game announced at SGF.
It's definitely not Days Gone 2 it's a new LS IP. Hope it looks and plays good.
Are you also tired of video game reboots, remakes, and reimaginings?
