Former outlaw biker Deacon St. John is a wanderer, a bounty hunter, a shadow of what was once human civilization. St. John must survive in a world devastated by a global pandemic. He avoids the safe camps set up by the few survivors and takes his chances on the dangerous roads.

Days Gone is set in a battered, volcanic environment in the northwestern US, where you are constantly under threat from human monsters known as Freakers. Fight your way through the desolate landscape, looking for food, supplies ... and a reason to keep driving.
