Two years ago Bend said this :
“We are currently working on a new IP that includes multiplayer and builds upon the open-world systems of Days Gone, but brings you a whole new world that we are extremely excited to craft for you. We cannot wait to reveal it to you when the time is right.”
The way they are talking about it made me think that he would be a single player game with a multiplayer mode maybe something like Ghost of Tsushima.
Apparently from David Jaffe, they are not using Unreal Engine 5 but the Decima Engine for their new IP and he seem to be right because from the LinkedIn of someone working at Bend where was the mention of the Decima engine among the tools that he’s worked with for this project.
Other interesting information the studio will utilize motion matching technology to implement more realistic and seamless animations in its next title
