Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in gaming that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.

| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 35% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.44 | +0.110 28% | TechPowerUp is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.70 | +0.141 36% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Bend Studio, the game studio behind 2019's Days Gone action-adventure game, is apparently already knee-deep in the production of its next game, and it has been unofficially confirmed that Bend's next project will not be Days Gone 2, according to a report by MP1st, who cites anonymous insiders familiar with Bend Studio's inner workings. The insider explains that the project is a third-person co-op game, and that it is slated to be revealed sometime in 2027, with a late 2027 launch, to boot. At the time of the leak, it was confirmed that the game will not be a live-service game, despite Sony's renewed push for live-service games.
