“Days Gone is coming to PC! We cannot wait to see more players experience the epic journey of Deacon St. John, a former outlaw biker now drifter and bounty hunter trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic open world where danger lurks around every corner. Explore the sprawling Pacific Northwest high-desert on your trusty Drifter bike as you try to maneuver around collapsed bridges, abandoned vehicles, ambush traps, and blocked tunnels. Scavenge supplies from abandoned buildings to craft assorted items, barter with local camps, and gear up for the ride through an infested ever-changing environment.”
Enhanced Features for PC
The PC version of Days Gone promises to bring several enhancements and new features that were not available on the PlayStation 4. These include ultra-wide monitor support, unlocked frame rates, and improved graphics with increased level of detail, foliage draw distances, and graphical customization options. Players can expect a more immersive and visually stunning experience as they navigate the treacherous landscapes and face off against hordes of Freakers.
Moreover, the game will support keyboard and mouse controls, providing a different gameplay feel compared to the console version. This will allow players to have more precise aiming and movement, which can be crucial in high-stakes combat situations. The PC version also includes all the post-launch content released for the PlayStation 4, such as new game modes, challenges, and additional bike skins.
Gameplay and Storyline
Days Gone is set in a post-apocalyptic world two years after a global pandemic has decimated humanity, turning millions into mindless, feral creatures known as Freakers. Players take on the role of Deacon St. John, a former member of an outlaw motorcycle club who now works as a drifter and bounty hunter. The game combines elements of survival horror, action-adventure, and open-world exploration.
The storyline is deeply engaging, focusing on Deacon’s personal quest to find his wife, Sarah, who he believes may still be alive. Along the way, players will encounter various factions, each with their own agendas and challenges. The game emphasizes the importance of resource management, as players must scavenge for supplies to craft weapons, health items, and other essential gear.
One of the standout features of Days Gone is its dynamic weather system and day-night cycle, which significantly impact gameplay. For example, Freakers are more aggressive and numerous at night, making nighttime travel particularly dangerous. Weather conditions such as rain and snow can also affect visibility and the behavior of both enemies and wildlife.
The game also features a robust bike customization system, allowing players to upgrade and modify Deacon’s Drifter bike. This is essential for traversing the game’s vast open world, as the bike is not only a means of transportation but also a critical tool for survival. Players can improve the bike’s speed, durability, and fuel efficiency, as well as add various cosmetic enhancements.
Days Gone has received praise for its detailed and immersive world, compelling storyline, and intense combat mechanics. The PC release is highly anticipated by fans who are eager to experience the game with enhanced graphics and performance. Whether you’re a returning player or new to the world of Days Gone, the PC version promises to deliver an unforgettable post-apocalyptic adventure.
