VIDEO: New-look DayZ shown off by creator David ‘Rocket’ Hall

MCV Staff 5th February 2013 Business News

Gamers have at last been given a decent glimpse of Dean Hall’s brand new standalone DayZ.

DayZ is a mod release for Bohemia’s army simulation Arma II, but its popularity lead to the Arma studio hiring Hall to create an official, standalone version of the title.

The new DayZ was originally due out last year but the project has grown almost beyond recognition. Realising they could potentially achieve something special, Hall and Bohemia has delayed the project to an unspecified date this year, however.

This new video gives gamers their first look at the menu layout, as well as the new clothing and loot system. There’s also a first glimpse at a new map.

Take a look:
