With ArmA 3 already in the works, Spanel was also asked if Day Z would also be playable using the new game's engine. "DayZ was released just a few weeks ago as a tech demo/proof of concept and it's still at Alpha status so until we know where the project intends to go it's hard to commit to anything specifically," he said. When asked about the extent of the support the developer would provide he noted that the zombie mod is still in a relatively early state. "We're more than happy to assist DayZ in any suitable way and considering the mod's popularity we are committed to do some related work in the next Arma 2 update (1.61)," Spanel said.
"Sales have increased almost fivefold from how they were before Day Z's Alpha release!"īohemia Interactive will also be supporting Day Z in the next ArmA 2 update, something that the creator of the mod (known as Rocket) is sure to appreciate. "There's no doubt that the thrilling Day Z mod currently drives Arma 2 Combined Operations sales on Steam," Spanel told Kotaku in a recent interview. Why such a big jump in sales? Well, it seems that as much as folks like realistic military shooters, throwing zombies into the mix-at least according to developer Bohemia Interactive's Marek Spanel-"creates an experience so addictive that I believe it can stand as a gaming experience on its own." The hardcore military simulation ArmA 2 has seen its sales spike to five times the norm, thanks to the recently-released mod called Day Z.
