With the Days Gone release date almost upon us, fans are waiting for the first review scores to drop.

Days Gone has an April 26 release date, exclusively for PlayStation 4.

But there's bad news for fans ahead of launch, because the reviews won't go live until the day before release.

According to TheSixthAxis, the Days Gone review embargo lifts at 1pm UK time on April 25.

Not only does this mean an agonising wait for more information about the game, but it doesn't give customers much chance to cancel pre-orders if the game isn't up to scratch.

If it's up to the same standard of past PS4 exclusives, then Sony will almost certainly have another hit on its hands.

Sony has a great track record with its March and April exclusives, having previously released the likes of Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War around this time of year.

Fans will find out if Days Gone is up to the same standard when the reviews go live in less than a fortnight.

Days Gone made its first appearance during Sony's 2016 E3 press conference.

An open-world action-adventure game, Days Gone puts players in the shoes of a drifter and bounty hunter named Deacon St. John.

Players will face off against zombie hordes and human enemies in the Pacific Northwest.

As seen in the original demo from E3, Deacon will occasionally have to overcome insurmountable odds to survive zombie hordes numbering in the hundreds.
