With DayZ heading out of Early Access in 2018, Bohemia Interactive decided to release a “year in review” video to, well, review the changes the game has undergone in 2017.
Among the changes discussed, including the move to the new Enfusion Engine, the team apologizes for the missed beta (which is now slated for 2018), but also covers the improvements to the actual game in terms of animations, mechanics, combat and so on. We’re also treated to more gameplay footage showcasing said improvements. The video also covers the long-awaited port to XBox One (also due in 2018), as well the previously-mentioned move out of Early Access.
While there’s still work to be done, fans of the game who have long suffered for the past four years waiting for the game to make the leap have reason to smile with these announcements. It’s a matter of just when we’ll be seeing these promises come to fruition in 2018.
