Dayz of our lives

Though it began as a modification for Arma 2 back in 2013, DayZ eventually turned into a standalone game⛄. It challenges players to survive in a harsh European locale during the aftermath of a zombie infestation. To succeed, you must gather supplies (including food and water) while dealing with the undead that come at you.

Like any tough survival game, you have more than enemy NPCs to worry about. Other players are as keen to stay alive as you, even if that means ambushing other humans to steal supplies. It’s a pretty unforgiving experience, one on par with other releases in the genre, such as Facepunch Studios’ Rust.

, so for now, it looks like the plan is to continue supporting the original game. Given that the document in question merely states that Dayz 2 is in development without additional details, we can only guess how far along development is. We’ll certainly learn more if and when Bohemia Interactive officially announces DayZ 2.

In the meantime, you can catch DayZ on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
