Bohemia Interactive Delays ‘DayZ’ On Xbox One to Focus On PC Version
Bohemia Interactive has confirmed that the Xbox One release of their post-apocalyptic survival game DayZ has been delayed so the team can focus on the PC version. The game was expected to make its console debut on the Xbox One’s preview program this year, but that’s since been pushed into the first quarter of 2016 — meaning it’ll arrive by the end of March.
The current plan for DayZ on PC is that it’ll migrate from an alpha to a beta by the end of the year, followed by a final version — or as “final” as these games can get — which they hope to have ready by mid-2016.
The main focus of the @dayzdevteam is the PC version, while a first console prototype is expected in Q1 2016 – https://t.co/bKFhHa6mK1

On the bright side, DayZ is still coming to PS4. That’ll give PS4 owners the option of choosing between it and the nigh identical H1Z1.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
