Arma II spin off and survival zombie game DayZ will not be likely to get a full release until spring/summer 2015. The game is currently available as an alpha release through Steam, with a beta phase planned before the official release.

First released as a mod for Arma II in 2012, DayZ was an extremely rough around the edges game, but it caught the imagination of gamers and became a viral hit on PC. The alpha phase was launched in December 2013, but in an interview with Eurogamer, creator Dean Hall says he doesn’t expect a final version to arrive before spring 2015.

A possible flaw in this prediction is Hall’s other announcement: that he’s leaving DayZ owner Bohemia Interactive by the end of this year. Hall says once all the necessary features have been added to DayZ, he won’t be essential to the project anymore, and wants to return to his native New Zealand. He plans to open his own game development studio.

Buy DayZ standalone alpha.
