The Steam Summer Sale Means No ‘DayZ’ For At Least Another Two Weeks
Written by Jason Nawara, @JasonNawara
If you’re reading this on July 12th, you are knee-deep in the throes of Steam Summer Sale passion. It’s a good thing. No, it’s a great thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with opening your wallet and letting your cash fly towards all the great games that will be on sale like doves being released from their cages on a wedding day. Or a John Woo movie. You pick.
But, like anything in life, there is a negative side to the greatness that is the Steam Summer Sale: there will be no DayZstand alone game released during that time.
Steam always schedules it’s sales during the time of year when no new games are coming out, so over the next two weeks, no new games are coming out. Hence, the sale.
Rocket, the creator of Day Z, hinted at E3 that the release of the DayZ stand alone would be coming soon, but in typical fashion, the game has been delayed further and further without nary a peep from Rocket about a release date. Now, I think it’s safe to say it will not be releasing for the next few weeks, not while the Summer Sale is going down and uplifting our souls.
So what does that mean? It means at least a few more weeks of polish, which I’m sure Rocket and Co. appreciates, and it also means millions of frustrated gamers, even if they just spread their wallets wide like the legs of a $2 hooker.
This, this is the rollercoaster of emotions we gamers have to deal with. But we endure, by god, we endure.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
