"Where is the Standalone Release?

I suppose I should start with the question everyone wants to know… where is DayZ Standalone? Obviously, it’s not here. At Eurogamer I said that DayZ had to be out before the end of the year and that’s come and gone. I still stand by that comment, to achieve what we had originally wanted, we did have to be out by the end of the year - and we’ve failed to achieve that.

Put simply, DayZ Standalone isn’t here because we had the chance to go from making a game that was just the mod improved slightly, packaged simply, and sold - to actually redeveloping the engine and making the game the way we all dreamed it could be. This blew any initial plans we had dictated to pieces.

The plan going forward

The plan from here is straightforward. We will be releasing a closed test imminently, during which approximately 500-1000 people will assist in ensuring our architecture is correctly functioning. This closed test will be focused purely on architecture, not the game design. Once we have confirmed fixes for issues arising from the closed test, we will then reschedule an internal date for our public release."

I like that they are going to take their time with this!

I guess that since their main competition, WarZ, was such an utter failure and terrible cash grab they don't have to race so hard to get this on the shelves. This can only be a good thing for the final product.

What's cool about this is that there is very little crying about the delay, sure we want it ASAP but are happy for the game to be polished before release.
Good job community. *golf clap

Everyone seems to overlook the last part where two integral devs were imprisoned in Greece until very recently.

Meanwhile ignorant internet at large have been all "bitch bitch whinge whinge why isn't my game here?"
