[/p][p]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.   [/p][p]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. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]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.

[/p][p]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. 

[/p][p]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. [/p][p]Your next great DayZ adventure awaits in DayZ Badlands. See you there. [/p][p]Big love, and wishing you all a great summer, [/p][p]The DayZ Team

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hey Survivors,
The summer of 2025 is finally here! 
Now is the perfect time to grab DayZ and its various bundles with up to 50% off during the Steam Summer Sale. The sale runs until July 10th, and what better way to escape the heat than with adventures in DayZ? Speaking of heat, we’ve got some exciting announcements coming tomorrow, so stay tuned!
[/p][p][/p][p]Last week, we invited our community leaders to our Prague office for Survival Camp 2.0 to unveil some of the cool things we’ve been cooking up. Check these folks out to see who’ll be spreading the good word about what’s coming.  

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]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? [/p][p]On the flip side of the heat, the frozen wasteland of DayZ Frostline is also on sale at a whopping 33% off, which is a deal you won’t want to miss. We’re still giving DayZ Frostline a whole lotta of love. In 1.28 update, we introduced additional dynamic spawns like classic heli crashes, new boat wrecks, medical events, and more!  [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]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.

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.[/p][p] [/p][p]Whether you’re a freshie drawn to summer adventures in Chernarus and Livonia, or a veteran ready to conquer the freezing hellscape of Sakhal, this sale has you covered. [/p][p]We can't wait to show you what's next. The team's been working hard on some truly special things that we know you'll love. [/p]
