Sony said:Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after a devastating global pandemic. Play as Deacon St. John, a Drifter and bounty hunter who rides the broken road, fighting to survive while searching for a reason to live.
At its core, Days Gone is about survivors and what makes them human: desperation, loss, madness, betrayal, friendship, brotherhood, regret, love – and hope. It’s about how even when confronted with such enormous tragedy they find a reason to live. Hope never dies.

When I first saw that trailer in the E3 conference, I absolutely thought this would be "The Last of Us 2". The music, the way the character was portrayed and also the apocalyptic world. Everything screamed "TLoU!!!". But as I know now, that's not the case. It's rather a new franchise with a world where zombies/mutants rule the world, pretty much like in franchises such as "I am Legend", "The Walking Dead" or "World War Z".
It looks still very good imo and I'm really interested in the overall story as well as the one of the main character. A bit sad that it isn't another "The Last of Us", but I'm sure this game will possess heartwrench-potential. So, I hope it's not just a plain rip-off.
