DayZ is an online open-world survival game where you escape zombies and fight for your lives. The game has been in Early Access since 2013 and is finally ready to enter its Beta state the upcoming year. Along with a Beta version for PC, the game has been planned for consoles as well.

The game has been in Early Access for almost 4 years now, and that’s remarkably a long period. The developers wanted to offer a game that they could themselves call “flawless”. After innumerable tweaks, patches, bug-hunting, additional of new features, modes and viable content, DayZ is finally set for a Beta release in 2018.

Developer Bohemia Interactive’s next focus after the PC Beta will be an Xbox version of the game, where a large community is waiting for a truly hardcore online survival game. In short (as mentioned in their official press release), DayZ will be out of Early Access next year, and we’ll also finally deliver it to console players in 2018.
