It’s been so long since DayZ first appeared. It was four years ago that the Early Access version made its debut on Steam and it’s still not done. That said, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The development team has posted a very lengthy blog update which even the dev team says could be “frustrating to read”. To break it down, the planned 0.63 update for the game which paves the way for release is not going to make it this year. This comment on the update sums it up:
There is some good news, Bohemia Interactive has outlined some of the future plans such as firing from vehicles, barricading, single track vehicles, and more. Some of this will come with the 1.0 release and some after 1.0 arrives. To conclude:
“For the PC BETA (again, that’s the first 0.63 Stable update, and any 0.63 patches between that and 1.0 – there’s no 0.64 or 0.65 planned), we’ve set a pretty clear feature and content goals. We’re ready to share them now, let’s start with features.”
The full update can be read on the official site and it’s quite detailed highlighting some of the features planned and the blockers that have prevented the 0.63 release.
