On today’s IGN The Fix: Games, Sydnee’s got even more details on the doomed Days Gone 2 pitch, recently rejected by Sony. Bend Studios had originally planned for the sequel to include a robust co-op mode, featuring a shared multiplayer universe where players could build up a clubhouse or crew to defend from the zombie horde. Fans may be focused on a potential Nintendo Switch Pro, but Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has some grim warnings for the near future. With the world in the grips of a semiconductor shortage affecting everything from car manufacturing, to fans getting their hands on a PlayStation 5, it seems that Nintendo Switch stock may also be adversely affected. And finally, players are reportedly unable to download PS3 game patches ahead of the PlayStation 3 digital store’s closure.

Happy Friday! On today's Daily Fix, Naughty Dog's blockbuster, The Last of Us, is reportedly getting the remake treatment. However, like one of Days Gone's Freakers, some bad news is lurking right around the corner. There will be no sequel to Bend Studio's 2019 action-adventure survival horror game, at least not in the foreseeable future. There's also been some strife among Sony's first-party development studios, as devs have been moved around various Uncharted and The Last of Us-related projects.
