‘DayZ’ Crawls Out of Early Access, Aims For Version 1.0 This Year
After a long, long wait, Bohemia Interactive’s DayZ is finally headed out of Early Access and into beta. Currently, the game’s Stable and Experimental branches are at version 0.63 of the game. While still unfinished, the Experimental branch contains the beta’s first update, which includes most of the features and content that will be in the final game. Version 1.0 is expected at the end of the year.
As for the alpha version of the game, it has been rebranded as the Legacy branch, which users can optionally download.
In addition, Bohemia will also be releasing modding tools on Steam for Steam Workshop support, giving players the ability to play the game with a variety of options.
You can check out the rest of the update on the game’s development blog, where lead producer Eugen Harton answers some of the questions fans might have about the release (including the decision to go for the 1.0 release this year).
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
