We’ve been hearing about Dead Don’t Ride, which is apparently going to be the next game that Sony’s Bend team will put out, for a while now. We’ve known that the game will be a zombie action game, thanks to some leaks by well placed insiders. And now, we are hearing that the game will in fact be an open world game, with an emphasis on black humor and comedy- which sort of sounds to me a lot like Capcom’s Dead Rising franchise.

It also sounds as though the game, whatever it is, will not be launching in 2016- instead, it seems as though the earliest release date we can expect for this game may be next year. While I am sure that will be a bummer to many who wanted Bend’s next title now, it does make sense that Sony will want to focus on The Last Guardian and Gran Turismo Sport for this year.

Dead Don’t Ride has not yet been officially  announced. We expect to see more of it at E3 this year.

We know that Sony Bend are on work on a new PS4 exclusive (after their pitches for further Vita games in the wake of their PS Vita launch game Uncharted: Golden Abyss, still the most successful Vita game till date, were rejected)- but we haven’t had much insights into what kind of a game it may be so far.

That changed today when industry insider Shinobi dropped some hints on Twitter about just what this new game might be like- it sounds like the game will have a post apocalyptic setting, which isn’t all that unique; zombies, which is maybe a little more unique, but still pretty commonplace; and, er, dirt bikes? Definitely not something you see as part of this mix. The game is apparently called Dead Don’tRide.

The game is apparently not a racing game, and NeoGAF users have unearthed more evidence that Dead Don’t Ride is definitely a game Sony has in the works- that, coupled with shinobi’s generally reliable track record, indicates that Dead Don’t Ride may indeed be Sony Bend’s new game- possibly with an E3 reveal incoming?
