Days Gone director Jeff Ross recently called Sony’s decision not to greenlight a sequel “weird” after its sales success.
Now, in a new interview with USA Today, Ross has offered a glimpse of what that sequel may have looked like.
Admitting some flaws from the first game, Ross says a sequel would have allowed him to “create the definitive version” where he “didn’t have to necessarily apologise for so much”.

“We have to be able to crawl before you can walk, and walk before you can run,” Ross said, referencing advancements made in other video game sequels. “So you create the minimum viable entry and then hope you get to build the second one. Because you’re not arguing over the foundations, you’re arguing over the epic new ideas that you’re gonna be putting into it.”
