Ahoy-hoy! Justin’s on the road, so I’m filling in this week. I know we’re all hip-deep in the grim, brutal world of Days Gone (not to mention Mortal Kombat 11), but next week sees some noteworthy new releases as well.

Fade to Silence is a survival RPG set in a frozen post-apocalyptic hell populated by bizarre creatures. Developed by Black Forest games, this single-player and co-op adventure continually challenges you to stay one step ahead of the blizzard and do whatever it takes to stay alive.

Read on for a full list of next week’s new releases. Enjoy The Drop!

Next week, we head to the Farewell Wilderness in Days Gone. While fending off freakers as Deacon St. John, share how the world comes for you with #PS4share and #PSBlog for a chance to be featured.

Days Gone is almost here! All week, we’ve been counting down the days to when we can get behind the wheel as Deacon St. John in a world that comes for you.

Before driving into the Farewell Wilderness and fending off freakers, we’ve been celebrating at playstation.com/DaysGoneCTL with rewards, sweepstakes, and interviews with the team at Bend Studio. The celebration continues tonight with a launch-night livestream featuring special guests, live gameplay, and more. Read on for details on how to kick Days Gone off right:

Days Gone Countdown to Launch Livestream

We’ll go inside the development of Days Gone with a look at early concept art, a peek at a new in-game cinematic, horde-filled live gameplay alongside special guests John Garvin and Jeff Ross from Bend Studios.

• What: PlayStation Store Days Gone Launch Livestream
• When: Tonight @ 7:30 PM PT
• Where: playstation.com/DaysGoneCTL

Giveaways and Sweepstakes

What better way to join in on the fun than decking out your home screen with new PlayStation avatars? Or with one of two new Dynamic Themes? They’ll be available as giveaways during the countdown for US and Canada.

Rager bears might not be very cuddly in Days Gone, but 20 lucky US players have the chance of winning a very huggable Rager Bear Plushie after entering the sweepstakes.

For these rewards and sweepstakes, make sure to head to playstation.com/DaysGoneCTL.

We’ll see you for the Countdown to Launch livestream tonight. Happy riding!

When Bend Studio introduces the world to Days Gone, it came with a look at the terrifyingly huge Freaker hordes. These masses of foes flow like water and kill quickly. Players manage massive crowds of enemies, trailing them through macabre killing grounds littered with explosive barrels, choke points, and other tools of destruction. Learn more about hordes in the latest Days Gone Countdown to Launch update with Bend Studio’s Jeff Ross and John Garvin, Creative Director / Writer and Game Director.

Creating the Horde

Horde Mentality

The Right Mindset for Facing a Horde

Confronting hordes — from small to enormous — is one of the most satisfying experiences of Days Gone. Yes, clearing out the map, earning experience, and finding new resources are big incentives for wiping out hordes, but the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. Once you exterminate one when Days Gone hits PS4 on April 26, you’ll want to clear the entire map.
