Popular ArmA II mod, DayZ, is finally getting its own game.
The game, now just branded DayZ, is being published by Bohemia Interactive, the same people behind the game the mod is based on, ArmA II. The original team behind the mod will be the developers as well.
The popular zombie survival mod became an overnight success as Steam sales of ArmA II skyrocketed following its release. The mod uses the ArmA II engine for a high sense of realism to create a MMO-style zombie game focused on scavenging and surviving as much as it is killing zombies or rival players. The mod recently passed one million users and has been branded as one of the most popular and successful mods in history.
No release date was announced yet, but the mod will still be up and running while the standalone game is in development.
