Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after a devastating global pandemic.

Scavenge through abandoned settlements for equipment to craft valuable items and weapons, or take your chances with other survivors trying to eke out a living through fair trade… or more violent means.
