I do believe that it’s time again for another round of wild speculation, courtesy of our friends at Sony. The company recently registered a trademark, spotted by DualShockers, with the USPTO for “video game software” with the possibly spooky title of Days Gone. The document has since been pulled down, so everything else we know about this mystery game can be summed up by its Class 41 filing, as that means it’ll have some sort of online component.

The sky’s the limit as far as what it could be. Now it’s time to dream.

It’s likely that this is for one of their first-party teams, and specifically the ones that aren’t already working on something. My hope is that it belongs to the long-rumored PS4 exclusive that had been simmering in the Sony Bend Studio until it finally entered full production last year.

Bend’s project is an enigma to us. We know that it’s something new, and for a long time now there have been rumors floating about that they’ve been hard at work on an open-world survival horror game powered by the Unreal Engine 4.

That would put a smile on my face. What about you?
