The Days Gone 2 fan petition has now eclipsed 50,000 signatures, as gamers continue their efforts to have Sony green light a sequel to Bend Studio’s 2019 PS4 title.
The petition came up following a Bloomberg report that claimed Sony decided not to give the go ahead to Days Gone 2, despite the open-world title turning a profit. However, it appears that the game’s Metacritic score of 71 put the format holder off the idea of a sequel.
There’s millions of people who want Sony PlayStation to approve Days Gone 2. They can’t just pull the plug on such a amazing game that ended with a cliff hanger.
While petitions such as this do little to influence a game developer’s decision when it comes to future projects, it has attracted the attention of Jeff Ross, Days Gone‘s director, who had the following to say on Twitter:
Thanks to everyone for getting the Days Gone petition to 50,000! No matter where this thing ends, I just want you all to know how much your love means to me and members of the team. Days Gone fans are the best fans!
