Days Gone 2: 10 Major Questions It Must Answer

10. How Much Will The Freakers Evolve?

The Freakers in Days Gone are something of a mixed bag. While they effectively function like a swarm of zombies, and the special sub-boss types leave a lot to be desired, the bits and pieces you discover about their biology and impending evolution are endlessly fascinating.

Deacon and the player only ever gets drips and drabs of information from bickering scientists, but it all points towards one eventuality: the Freakers are evolving at a rapid rate, and they're only going to become more powerful, and more dangerous, as time goes on. You catch glimpses of this reality in the game itself, especially towards the end with the introduction of a more agile, more intelligent monster, but most of the potential is left unexplored.

We know that the Freakers aren't going to starve, as they've learned to survive off berries, and we know they're developing a way to communicate with each other, but the extent of this evolution is implied to be even greater than that, left up in the air for a sequel to explore.
