The new Story Trailer gives us a sense of who Cope is and the desperation that drives his mercenary relationship with Deacon. We’ve introduced Mark Copeland before – in the 2017 demo, he’s the survivor encampment leader who had sent Deacon’s friend Manny, the camp mechanic, out on a supply run. But, while trying to avoid spoilers, we wanted to draw back the curtain to reveal some of the other themes and storylines that define who Deacon St. In the new Days Gone story trailer you’ll see that the above storylines about Sarah, Boozer and Deacon’s fight for survival are still front and center. The bond and brotherhood he feels for his friend Boozer are explored in a storyline called “He’s My Brother.” Another half dozen storylines explore the brutality of the world and Deacon’s role in it as bounty hunter and mercenary.īut the overarching story in Days Gone offers so much more. Deacon’s feelings of loss and regret are explored in a storyline called “I Remember,” where, through playable flashbacks, we learn about Deacon and Sarah’s relationship. The world comes for you.Īnd these are all important storylines in Days Gone. Freakers, infected animals, marauders, Rippers, Hordes. Almost every demo since launch has emphasized that everything in the world is trying to kill you. The “Wedding” trailer showed who Deacon was before the world ended, and the man he’s become in order to survive the now harsh and brutal world. The 2017 demos showed the overwhelming dangers of the open world. The 2016 Horde demo showed Deacon fighting to survive against overwhelming odds. The launch trailer had image after image of the devastated world. This is the Days Gone story everyone is probably most familiar with. It’s a story about fighting for survival.

In the “Wedding” trailer we see how far back their friendship goes as Boozer was the only person to attend. In 2016, the launch trailer shows Deacon’s friend Boozer is by his side as they fight to survive a dangerous world. Then, earlier this year, in the “Wedding” trailer we see that Deacon won’t let go of the past and will risk his life even for a worn photo of his wife. In the 2016 launch trailer Deacon remembers his wife Sarah, the only woman he would ever love. Over the past couple of years, we’ve talked a little about who Deacon St. And I can tell you, it is quite an emotional journey. The last time I beat the game, focusing only on the main storylines, it took me a little over thirty hours to complete. We emphasized narrative driven because it’s a big game with a big story. We’ve always said that Days Gone is a narrative driven, open-world action game.
