DayZ is a zombie apocalypse mod (for definition of a mod see: modding ) designed by Dean “Rocket” Hall on the Real Virtuality 3 engine based off ARMA II. The setting takes place in the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus, an approximately 225km open world to scale. While many zombie oriented games are released annually, this is the first to draw me on a level much deeper than simply putting bullets into the undead’s heads.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
What this guy fails to mention, after you've spent £20 on a game you probably didnt want, is that getting DayZ to run should be an Olympic discipline.
However once it is working and you've died a few times to get used to the mechanics it is simply brilliant. No other game is quite as tense or so darn harsh, no other game has so many unscripted random (re weird) moments in them. Well worth a look and I hope Rocket will base the new one on Arma 3!
Just Google "can't get dayz to work" and see how many threads there are then or videos on how to get it to run on YouTube.
