Days Gone heads to 2019 as Sony spreads out zombie games

Days Gone was one of Sony’s big games coming for the PlayStation 4 this year. But the Japanese company announced Friday that it was delaying the zombie apocalypse game until 2019.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that we’re safe. The zombie apocalypse is coming this year, but I’m betting it’s more likely to come in the form of The Last of Us Part II, the highly anticipated game from Sony’s Naughty Dog studio that is a sequel to 2013’s great zombie game The Last of Us.
