‘DayZ’ Devs Post Year-In-Review Video
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.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
