![]() It’s also unclear what caused the pandemic that resulted in humans turning into Freakers, but presumably, it will be explained during the game’s story. It’s not clear why St John is out on the road, nor what his aim is, but we do know that wherever he goes, the perils of a horde of “Freakers” (the name for Days Gone’s zombie-like enemies) is ever present. In Bend Studio’s open-world tale of survival, you play as Deacon St John, a drifter and former bounty hunter who’s drawn to the dangers of a life on the road rather than settling down at a secure encampment. So far we know very little about what Days Gone is actually about. This day and night divergence in gameplay isn’t new ( Assassin’s Creed Origins, to cite a recent example, uses it well), but it looks like weather and light conditions with add variety to Days Gone’s action. Throughout the game, you’ll need to switch up tactics dependent on the weather and time of day. ![]() This time it’s winter and partly at night, and a number of things play out differently. To show how things change in Days Gone, SIE Bend also released an alternate playthrough of the same E3 demo.
