DayZ will get a new engine upgrade in a couple of weeks on the PC

  • 1067

It appears that the standalone version of DayZ will receive a major engine upgrade really soon. As Eugen Harton, lead producer at developers Bohemia, told PCGamesN, the team is currently working on upgrading DayZ’s game engine and will release this new version in a couple of weeks.

“We’re releasing DayZ on a new engine in a couple of weeks on PC, and it’s gonna be coming to Game Preview on Xbox this year. That’s basically our aim. I would almost say it’s a reboot of DayZ on PC.”

Harton did not clarify whether this is still an Early Access version or the full version that Bohemia promised to release in 2018. Still, it appears that the development team will be really committed to it in 2018. After all, Harton claimed that 2018 will be the year of DayZ.

“I still feel like we have not hit our peak. This is the year of DayZ.”

DayZ is still a thing?  I don't know if I would play this again.  Its basically a very slow battle royale game.



Ehhhh...

I read that as "HEEEY!!! I still wanna be relevant in 2018!!!!"

Maybe they finish the game by 2028, and then conquer the world...




They promise too much and never deliver, plus they drag their feet just to introduce minor features.  When this company says they'll do something, I take it with a grain of salt, as their words really mean nothing.  If they actually start kicking thing's into gear, then I'll be really surprised.


Resident Metal Head

I'm glad I never bought the game and just stuck to Arma II and Arma III mods that did the same thing for free.


Interstellar

Haven't played it, though it sounds like those who do play will be mixed on it due to late delivery and so much that they said would be delivered. Still better something than nothing and better late than never.
