In a blog post made today, Sony has announced that the release date has been moved from February 22, 2019, to April 26, 2019.

Per the post, Sony said:

In Days Gone, players will encounter a world ravaged by a pandemic, one that has transformed millions (humans and animals alike) into zombies called “Freakers.” Located in the Pacific Northwest, players will use stealth and combat to survive in the game’s harsh open-world.

Days Gone boasts a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that alters the behavior of the “Freakers.” Vehicles will be available to aid players as they explore the post-apocalyptic world.

There is certainly no shortage of titles to be excited about at the beginning of 2019, and hopefully, Bend Studios will use this extra time to be certain they are shipping a product that lives up to what many are anticipating.
