It’s also possible to encounter infected animals like crows or even bears – it’s safe to say bear mace won’t cut it this time. Swarmers, which seem to be the generic zombies, congregate and try to kill you by overwhelming you with their sheer numbers the screamers, which let out ear-piercing screams every time they encounter you, can set you up to be attacked by swarmers and breakers, which are big, hulking brutes that act as bullet sponges. This is refreshing to hear, since after playing so much World War Z last week I found myself wanting for some cool new zombie designs. Garvin has also revealed that the Freakers in the game’s world are continually mutating and evolving, which means that you will get to see different types of enemies in-game. There is also a day-and-night cycle, and Garvin notes that there will be more Freakers at night, giving you incentive to do your exploring during the daytime. Days Gone features a weather cycle, which means that sometimes the weather will be cold and unforgiving instead of sunny and bright.
In order to contend with the Freakers, players must make use of different firearms, melee weapons and improvised weapons.
For some time now it may have seemed like Days Gone would never reach launch, but with January 2019 coming to an end the single-player open-world game is just a few short months away.
