DayZ
Developer Bohemia Interactive has released six new screens showing off the upcoming standalone release of the immensely popular hardcore zombie-survival mod, DayZ.
DayZ pits players against hunger, thirst, exhaustion, cold, zombies, and – worst of all – other players in a unique persistent structure where your character is saved in a central database but gameplay takes place on whichever individual server you decide to connect to. Death is permanent and around every corner, but the accomplishment of staying alive is all the sweeter for it.
DayZ is currently in a closed alpha-test state, and has no official release date. It is only confirmed for PC at this point, though creator Dean Hall seems open to the idea of a console version.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
