Exclusive: Explosive Court Documents Reveal DayZ 2 Leaks!

According to a leaked internal Microsoft document from the ongoing Activision Blizzard merger court proceedings, it seems that a sequel to the influential survival game DayZ is currently in development. DayZ, which was first released in its alpha stage a decade ago, played a pivotal role in defining and popularizing the subgenre of post-apocalyptic survival games. Over the years, DayZ has had its share of ups and downs, leading the developers at Bohemia Interactive to consider the possibility of creating a sequel at this point.

DayZ itself is an immersive multiplayer survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. In this game, players must scavenge for vital resources like food, weapons, and tools to sustain themselves, all while contending with a relentless horde of zombies and the potential threat of other players. The player-versus-player element is a significant factor in DayZ's enduring success, granting players the freedom to engage in combat with any encountered players. Alternatively, they can establish communication and even collaborate with fellow survivors. By incorporating these features, DayZ masterfully captures the essence of a zombie apocalypse.

Developer Bohemia Interactive is reportedly working on an undisclosed sequel to DayZ, according to a confidential document shared in the ongoing FTC vs. Microsoft court case. The document, intended for internal use only, lists Bohemia's current projects, which include "Arma Reforged, Arma 4 and DayZ 2." However, no further information is provided about the development of DayZ 2, leading to uncertainty about the project's status. It is possible that the project is still in its exploratory phase or may have been delayed or replaced by other Bohemia projects. Without more details, DayZ fans should temper their expectations.

It is logical for Bohemia Interactive to consider creating a sequel to DayZ due to the success of the previous game and the strong brand recognition. Although ARMA 4 is currently the studio's main focus, Bohemia Interactive is a large studio capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously.

The development of DayZ has not been officially confirmed by Bohemia Interactive. While there may be a comment in response to the Microsoft document leak, a full announcement will be made at Bohemia's discretion. This could happen later this year, in 2024, or in the future. DayZ fans should be excited but will need to remain patient.

DayZ 2 is rumored to be in development.
