Days Gone is a 2019 action-adventure video game developed by Bend Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is set in post-apocalyptic Oregon two years after the start of a pandemic that turned a portion of humanity into vicious zombie-like creatures. Former outlaw biker Deacon St. John discovers his wife Sarah, having been assumed dead, may still be alive and goes on a quest to find her. The game is played from a third-person perspective in which the player can explore an open world environment. Players can use firearms, melee weapons, and improvised weapons, and can use stealth to defend themselves against enemies. A major game mechanic is Deacon's motorcycle, which is used as the player character's main mode of transportation. The enemies, known as "Freakers" in the game, can congregate to form a large horde to chase down Deacon.
