Latest Update For ‘DayZ’ Wipes Servers, But Fixes a Whole Lot in The Process
Bohemia Interactive keep plugging away at their open-world zombie survival game DayZ with their latest update to the game, which brings performance and gameplay revamps, but at the cost of a server wipe.
Update 1.11 wipes the servers of both console and PC versions, which is meant to compliment the update 1.11 for a fresh start into 2021. According to the press release, it also secures the devs “a clean foundation to monitor the changes made with previous economy updates.”
The good news is that in addition to fixes, the update also introduces a new weapon for players to find at helicopter crash sites around Chernarus and Livonia in the SVAL, which also has new 20 round magazines for 9×39 ammo.
The update also adds new textures and abandoned truck parts for the M3S, as well as tweaks vehicle behavior. Those who participated in the base building contest that took place in September will now have their winning flags in the game, and garden plots can now be removed with shovels and pickaxes.
There’s a host more fixes and tweaks for the game, which you can read up on in the update’s changelog. DayZ is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Bloober Team appears to have something in the works related to Cronos: The New Dawn. At least, that would appear to be the case, thanks to an accidental reveal ahead of this weekend’s IGN Live event as part of Summer Game Fest.
In the list of title reveals during the event, something referred to as “Cronos: Lazarus” appeared in the list, but was quickly scrubbed. However, not before the internet picked up on it. Adding more fuel to the reveal were two screenshots posted to X by insider Intercelluar, which appear to show the official art. It’s not clear yet, but this is more than likely a new DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, given that Bloober Team is already busy with multiple other titles, including the Silent Hill remake, and the recently-announced Layers of Fear 3.
If you haven’t checked out Cronos: The New Dawn (and you never read Aaron’s review of the game), the game is set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland. Cronos: The New Dawn unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.
Players step into the hunting suit of The Traveler — an enigmatic agent of the Collective, sent into zones scarred by the Change, a cataclysmic event that shattered time, memory, and flesh. What remains is a world suspended between past and future — haunted, hostile, and unravelling. Survival is anything but certain.
