This looks really cool. Winter Survival is a new survival adventure game that released in early access on steam recently. DRAGO Entertainment is behind this one, they're the team who were responsible for Gas Station Simulator. This seems to be their most ambitious title yet. You have to survive a cold wilderness before rescue arrives, and in the process you must deal with dangers like wolves and bears. It's in early access now, and can be purchased from steam here - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1394960/Winter_Survival/

Bend Studio, the team behind the under-rated hit Days Gone, will be joining the live service game world with their upcoming game. It's been known for a while now that Bend Studio was working on a new IP, but it sounds like that new game could very well be another live service game. What that game is, is not yet known. It was recently revealed that Bend Studio was looking to hire a lead project manager for a yet to be detailed live service game. So far this is all that is know, but with the rate of failure for live service games as of late, I am not expecting this to be a massive hit, whatever it may be.

I also liked the first game. I mean, it had its flaws but I did like it a lot - what is with these live-service games? Most of them fail anyways and the market is saturated. Why not focus on Days Gone 2?

Not really surprised - the whole industry keeps trying to go down this live-service route and majority of them have been colossal failures and even the decent ones didn't do that well either.
