‘DayZ’ Heading Out of Early Access in 2018
In what should be a relief for some, Bohemia Interactive’s survival game DayZ is finally leaving Steam Early Access next year. In a blog post on the DayZ website, Lead Producer Eugen Harton explains that while the PC beta is not coming before the end of 2017, further updates and the eventual 1.0 release will happen in 2018, “which is shaping up to be one of the most important years for DayZ.” Harton also stated that Bohemia won’t be ending their support of the game once it reaches that 1.0 milestone. Rather, the studio is treating DayZ as a platform that will be continuously supported for “as long as it’s viable.”
In addition, Harton states that after the beta is reached next year, Bohemia is “committed to bringing DayZ to XBox, where we have a large community of gamers patiently (very patiently!) waiting for a truly hardcore online survival game.” Strangely, there’s no mention of the PlayStation 4 anywhere in the post, which was also one of the intended platforms for the game.
For a game that’s sold more than 3 million copies since its launch in 2013, it sounds like there’s still a lot to come for DayZ. To read up on just what that entails for next year, head over to the blog post here.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
