Survivors,
Autumn is in free fall as we enter the spooky season of the year! To celebrate, we are participating in Scream IV Fest on Steam, where you can get DayZ and its various bundles for up to 50% off.
The sale will be running until the 3rd of November.
What is DayZ?
The post-soviet countries of Chernarus and Livonia are struck by an unknown virus, turning the majority population into frenzied infected. Fighting over resources has bred a hostile mentality among survivors, driving what’s left of humanity to collapse. You are one of the few immune to the virus - how far will you go to survive?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/DayZ/This is a prime time to get into DayZ, with exciting things just around the corner. But before we get ahead of ourselves, our annual Halloween event is now live, bringing a spookier twist to the world of DayZ. From haunted castles and demon goats to Halloween-themed items like witch hoods and witch hats, you’ll definitely get a taste of seasonal wonders. You can read more about the event on all three maps below.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/221100/view/509594618645448760?l=englishDayZ Frostline is also on sale with 26% off. With Update 1.29 in Experimental, you can already see Sakhal getting a lot of love, with special terrain blending improvements and new clothing to help you battle the harsh winter. Speaking of 1.29, it has been delayed, but you can read the status report below explaining the situation and the optimizations we intend to bring with the update. There’s also a link to some interesting news coming on the 28th of October.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/221100/view/528735466048981604
What is DayZ Frostline?
Sakhal harbors both beauty and danger, offering an experience DayZ fans have never seen before. As you explore, hunt, survive, and unfurl the mysteries hidden beneath the frost line. Unite with fellow survivors or forge your path alone; the choice is yours in this perilous winter wonderland. Preparation is the key to survival, and as the frost sets in, only those with Ice in their veins and Fire in their hearts will endure.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2968040/DayZ_Frostline/Deluxe Edition & Cool Edition More comprehensive versions of DayZ in Deluxe and Cool Editions are also on sale with up to 50% and 35% off, respectively.

Finally, we are making steady progress with the next expansion, DayZ Badlands. It aims to bring a whole new environment to official DayZ with an arid desert map set in a borderland called "Nasdara." You can wishlist it now and stay tuned for more upcoming news.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3816030/DayZ_Badlands/We hope you are as excited as we are about the future of DayZ. We sincerely thank you for your continued support and enduring patience. Wishing you a lovely Halloween, with more treats and fewer tricks.
Stay safe,
The DayZ Team

Hey Survivors,
Since the release of 1.29 has been delayed for quite some time, we felt it would be appropriate to provide a status report. Again, we sincerely apologize for the radio silence. We needed time to gather the necessary information on progress, plans, and beyond. Our Brand Manager, Scotty, went on stream last week to talk about it a little; you can find the short version of the stream here, and the full version below:
1.29 Update
As Scotty mentioned on the stream, the delay of the 1.29 update was a necessary step for us. The key reason behind this is that we needed extra time for stabilizing and optimizing server performance and the game itself. This is why our programmers are dedicating additional time to resolving technical shortcomings that have previously impacted gameplay with performance issues.
We are planning to have an experimental update this Friday, and more in the coming weeks. We’d like to invite you to join us in testing the new build. As an incentive, we are bringing back the much-beloved “Many Cars” servers on PC and Xbox experimental branches.
DayZ Badlands Development
The release of DayZ Badlands is still planned for 2026. While we’re not ready to disclose the exact release date yet, we want you to know that the team continues to make steady progress.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3816030/DayZ_Badlands/
What’s Next for This Year and Beyond
We will continue to support this year’s seasonal events. Our Halloween Event was deployed last week, on October 21st, while the Christmas event is already waiting in the wings.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/221100/view/509594618645448760?l=englishWe are still holding off on the dev blog for DayZ Badlands to give more attention to the 1.29 update and the seasonal events. We will probably not release any detailed dev blogs this year; however, we do have some interesting news to showcase. Please check out the IGN show on October 28th.
Once again, we sincerely thank you for your patience and continued support.
Best regards,
The DayZ Team

We are still currently gathering necessary information regarding its progress, plans, and beyond. We will communicate more with a status report in the near future. Thank you for your understanding.
Now, on to the next! The spooky season is already around the corner. Prague is descending into the state of Chernarus with morning fog and chills in the air. The Halloween event is back, starting today, October 21st, until November 7th. Here’s what you can expect from the event:

Greetings, Survivors!
We’re about to enter the public testing phase of update 1.29 on Steam and Xbox! Let dive into the content it offers, and what to keep an eye on while playing on the experimental servers.
We would like to use this experimental as an opportunity to gather feedback on balancing changes within the central economy on Chernarus. This setup is meant to investigate gameplay that leans slightly more towards the survival side of the game. It will only be active during 1.29 experimental and will not be released on stable. We’re hoping to use the feedback we collect while working on the economy for update 1.30, as well as on our Badlands expansion. To ensure the feedback is unaffected by the previous state, we’ve decided to wipe the experimental servers, as well as the characters.

We’re also introducing the largest pack of clothes ever introduced in a single update. A total of 9 clothes (excluding color variants) will be available in the world spawns (or crafting). We won’t go into detail here, but we will say that most of the clothes are aimed at enriching your experience on Sakhal. There is also a piece that will be pretty unbearable to obtain.

Speaking of Sakhal, some of you said the underground bunker felt a bit too small. We agreed and ended up adding a new section to it. Just like with the previous one, this new section is accurately modelled after a real object: the Monolith-type bunker (a.k.a Javor 51) - a Soviet nuclear warhead storage that was built in the former Czechoslovakia and in the Warsaw Pact countries. We even visited one ourselves earlier in the year!

While it’s a relatively minor addition, it’ll make encounters around Sakhal's underground storage a lot more interesting, as it offers a third entrance into the underground space.
Our environment designers have been dealing with imperfect terrain surface blending for years. It’s resulted in blocky transitions, which often look very broken. This was most painfully visible on Sakhal, where the contrast between the snow and dark ground clearly showed the issue. For this update, we were able to enlist the help of our Enfusion team, and implement better blending of terrain surfaces into DayZ. The results are pretty impressive, as you can see:

The changes aren’t just visible on Sakhal, however. We also revisited Chernarus and Livonia. Since this blending requires changes in data, it is turned off by default. Mod makers who are interested in switching to this blending will have to enable it manually on their mods. We hope this change will improve your immersion while travelling through our environments.
While this update is certainly lighter on the content side (most of the team is hard at work on the content for the recently announced DayZ Badlands[dayz.com] expansion), we hope these new goodies will make it more interesting to explore the world of DayZ. Thank you and see you on Sakhal!
On behalf of the DayZ team,
Adam

Dear Survivors,
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming DayZ Badlands expansion - your next journey into the sand-swept, war-torn expanse of Nasdara Province. This 267km² terrain is DayZ's largest official map yet, and will transport you to the troubled territories bordering the westernmost parts of Takistan, west of Chernarus. Here you’ll find a quiet, desolate land, scarred by past warfare and proxy conflicts, now reset by the infection. It’s up to you to decide what will emerge from the vacuum.
Nasdara is a brand new terrain in the DayZ universe, a vast expanse of sand and cracked soil, where crumbling and abandoned Middle Eastern-style cities lie next to Soviet-era military bases, modern oil infrastructure, and much more. Our team has undertaken the most ambitious asset production in DayZ's history to bring this desolate landscape to life.
Survival here means battling severe heat and drought. Water is as precious as your bullets, as neither the land nor the broken down wells will quench your thirst. You will also be facing region-specific wildlife and infected variants. But you won't face these challenges empty-handed, as you'll scavenge for gears, clothing, items, firearms, and more that are unique to the region.
Trouble has always been in Badland’s name, but it is still your story to write. Will you find solace in adventuring, exploring town to town, and uncovering secrets in the shifting sands? Or will you continue the cycle of violence amidst these ruins of past ghosts and glories? As one of the few survivors left behind, the choice is yours to shape Nasdara's future. 
DayZ Badlands will be priced below $25 and launch in 2026. Wishlist it now on Steam and stay tuned for dev blogs in the coming months, where we’ll share more insights on the expansion’s development.
Your next great DayZ adventure awaits in DayZ Badlands. See you there.
Big love, and wishing you all a great summer,
The DayZ Team
