DayZ devblog features shipwreck screenshots and PAX East panel video

By Jenna Pitcher on Apr 26, 2013 04.26.13

A new devblog from the creators of DayZ, a standalone game based on the Arma 2 mod, features screenshots of a shipwreck, the latest building created for the game, and the team's video blog from PAX East. "This shipwreck has a vast amount of enter-able space inside and we haven't decided exactly where it is going to be placed on Chernarus yet either so some of the pictures are taken from our test map which is bland/featureless and which we use for testing new buildings," writes production assistant, Matt Lightfoot. The hour and a half long video blog features the Day Z panel at PAX East and footage of Day Z mod creator Dean "Rocket" Hall discussing details of the game with fans after the event. Another video blog from the Game Developers Conference will be released in upcoming blog...

By Tracey Lien on Feb 21, 2013 02.21.13

Bohemia Interactive' Arma 2: DayZ Mod is now available for download for free on Steam for those who own Arma 2 and the expansion Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead. The mod, created by Dean "Rocket" Hall for Arma 2: Combined Operations (the name given to Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead packaged together) is a persistent multiplayer mod where players can go solo or team up with friends for survival in a world ravaged by an infectious disease. A recent update to the mod brought several new weapons, introduced new ways to get infected and made the "zombies" more adept at tracking down survivors. The free mod available on Steam is not the standalone version of DayZ. In a recent Reddit AMA, Dean Hall said that the standalone version is expected to release before April.

DayZ-inspired Arma 2 mod created as a prequel to Bohemia's standalone title

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Jan 28, 2013 01.28.13

International nonprofit PC gaming group the GamersPlatoon Organization has developed a new Arma2 mod that aims to be a prequel to Bohemia Interactive's upcoming standalone zombie survival title DayZ. DayZ: Origins is an independent project "inspired and based on" Bohemia's mod-turned-game. The mod takes places on an adapted version of DayZ's Taviana community map and features new locations. These includes the isolated Salvation Island, populated by wealthy refugees who have built a walled community protected by hired mercenaries. Players who get into Salvation Island will gain access to "their finest weaponry and supplies" for use out in the mod's open-world. The mod also includes a mysterious character called "Patient Zero," a mutant super zombie that GamersPlatoon insinuates could...

DayZ creator says game should arrive before April, expresses anger at The War Z

"Yes I think so, but anything could happen and usually does," Hall wrote in response to a question about the April release window. "We'll know more when the results of the tech test are out. Any dates before then would be pure speculation, and my last speculation didn't work out so good." In late November, Hall announced that the original 2012 release could be delayed because "under the hood so much is being completely rewritten" in the Arma 2 game engine. He revealed in late December that public reaction to the delay had depressed him and made him think about "not...
