'DayZ' becoming a standalone game

DayZ, the zombie mod for Bohemia Interactive's Arma 2, is being developed as its own game by Bohemia, the studio announced today.

"This is the fairy-tale outcome for a mod that many would have said impossible four months ago," said Dean Hall, the creator of the mod, who will serve as project lead on the standalone DayZ game.

The mod itself is not going away; not only will it continue to exist, but Bohemia promises that "development and updates of the mod will continue in parallel with the development of the game." Bohemia plans for DayZ's progression to take after Minecraft, with frequent updates and a discounted alpha version available to the community.

Bohemia is the original developer of Arma 2, which launched in 2009.

More details will be coming soon on the game's official website, dayzgame.com, which doesn't exist yet. Until then, check out our extensive feature on Hall and how his military experience contributed to the development of DayZ..

Its !!ing amazing what they have done already with DAYZ man, glad its going standalone to.

Should be epic! Also with BI fully behind him its nothing but good stuff in the future.

Its only in alpha stage atm and its still the msot fun ive had all gen with an online game. Yes more fun then COD, Halo and BF3 (which I love btw).

BI has made some of my fav shooters ever (First Operation Flashpoint years ago, ARMA1, ARMA2 and Operation Arrowhead), Dayz is only going to get better with more money and people working on it now.

And the fact that they are doing this the MINECRAFT way of releasing it is perfect. I was worried that they might just do it Free To play which sucks because free to play really aint free to play, you end up payign MORE then games you gotta pay for to buy in the end (as you gotta spend money to unlock content,etc..)

Oh so when I posted this a month ago the thread title was misleading and I was the "worst mod 2012"... but then this thread is made... I'm going to merge

Yea because the post you made said nothing of it definitely becoming a stand alone game.

Mannnn

I'm seriously thinking about buying a PC just for this game...it looks !!ing GREAT. !! man...maybe it'll get ported to mac.

Day Zvs War Z

oh !!.

healthy competition

I might get both.

Dayz and War z

Don't forget about Dayz of Warz Z
