Days Gone Remastered: Bend Studio's Still Tinkering, and That's Alright, Alright, Alright
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Days Gone Remastered just got another patch, proving Bend Studio hasn't forgotten about Deacon and his Freaker-filled world, despite recent studio challenges. Here's hoping all this tweaking leads to something even bigger down the road...
Right, so Days Gone Remastered, that zombie-slaying jaunt we all secretly (or not-so-secretly) enjoyed, just got another dollop of polish. Courtesy of Bend Studio, of course. Game Rant dropped the details, reporting that a fresh update – Patch 1.036.178 for PS5 and 1.13 for PC – has landed, bringing the usual bag of goodies: crash fixes, streaming performance boosts, and translation tweaks.
Now, some might say, "Another patch? Is this game *ever* going to be finished?" And fair play, that's a reasonable question. But let's look at this from a slightly different angle, shall we? Bend Studio, bless their cotton socks, are clearly still committed to making Days Gone Remastered the best it can be. Which, in a world of studios dropping games like hot potatoes after the initial sales figures roll in, is actually rather commendable.
It's like when you're brewing a potion, yeah? You add a bit of this, a pinch of that, constantly tweaking the recipe until you've got something truly special. That's what Bend Studio's doing, even if it's just fixing a few crashes here and there. (Although, fingers crossed, no more random zombie hordes spawning inside walls. That was a *bit* much.)
And let's not forget the context, mate. As Game Rant pointed out, Bend Studio had a bit of a rough patch recently with layoffs following a cancelled live-service project. So, the fact they're *still* supporting Days Gone Remastered says a lot about their dedication. It's like they're saying, "We might be down a few wizards, but we're still gonna make this game shine!"
Of course, the big question lurking in the shadows is: what about Days Gone 2? The remaster's success has definitely reignited the flames of hope amongst fans, myself included. Will Deacon St. John ever get another chance to ride the broken road? Only time will tell. But until then, we can at least appreciate that Bend Studio is still keeping the original fire burning bright.
Think about it: they could've easily moved on, focusing solely on their next big thing. But they haven't. They're still in there, tweaking and polishing, ensuring that Days Gone Remastered remains a solid experience. And that, my friends, is something worth raising a tankard to. Even if it's just digital beer.
So, next time you're cruising through the post-apocalyptic Oregon landscape, blasting Freakers left and right, remember to tip your hat to Bend Studio. They're the real heroes here, quietly working behind the scenes to make sure your zombie-slaying adventure is as smooth as a freshly waxed motorcycle. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to try and find that hidden Easter egg I heard about… the one where Deacon turns into a unicorn. Okay, I made that up. But wouldn't it be brilliant?
