Day Z Announced as standalone title.

Please note nothing is changing in terms of forum usage etc, all technical/in depth type discussions should be on the DayZ forums, however similar to the VBS thread in here let's see if we can have a single news type thread to discuss the announcement and project in an overall way.

That’s right, this is actually happening - DayZ will be developed as a standalone game, with me as project lead, by Bohemia Interactive. This is the fairy-tale outcome for a mod that many would have said impossible four months ago.

Development and updates of the mod will continue in parallel with the development of the game, so anyone who is playing the mod now will be able to continue to do so. The project will follow the Minecraft development model; fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price.

I realize people will have many, many questions - but we wanted to let everyone know the announcement now. Over the coming weeks, these questions will be answered. The game will have it’s own site, www.dayzgame.com and the mod will continue at it’s present link.

Great news, always loved zombie mods and this means it will be even better.

I hope that it will be developed for the Real Virtuality 4 Engine and that it gets all the same graphical and gameplay features ARMA 3 will have to offer.
