DayZ Frostline #DayZUnite

A few weeks ago, a fog of mystery had descended upon the DayZ community. Bohemia Interactive invited a group of content creators to their studios. These lucky few were treated to a unique experience, spending a week living a real-life "Survivor" scenario, complete with the challenges and dangers we face in the game.

But the real shocker came when the content creators were presented with what appears to be a substantial update for DayZ. Details remained scarce with the developers and content creators themselves were sworn to secrecy, adding another layer of intrigue to the whole affair.

DayZ Frostline theories grew online, with players dissecting every clue and scrap of information available but through a well coordinated global strike, the grand reveal graced our feeds. DayZ is getting a new map!

If you want to find out more about the event the content creators went to, check out the vlog from FreshSpawns.

What to Expect from Sakhal

Details are sparse at the moment, but that hasn't stopped us from picking up a few bits. From roaming rabbits to new illnesses to challenge you, DayZ Frostline™ is more than just a map, it's a huge content dump.

Console players in particular have been calling out for a new map and snow for years. Well, now they have both! Additionally, the changes that DayZ Frostline™ introduce will transfer over to the base game! So we can expect to see freshies throwing rocks at rabbits along the spawn towns in Chernarus and Livonia too.

You can already wishlist DayZ Frostline™ on Steam.

Of course, @Wobo has rushed out a drill down video in a matter of hours. Take a glance here:

Hashima Islands Update

A series of Tweets from the Hashima Islands project tease some beautiful visuals for this upcoming map. Players can expect to explore the decaying ruins of this former coal mining community, offering a unique and atmospheric new environment thanks to the efforts of the passionate DayZ community.

More information on this project can be found on their website.

From Modder to Employee

Huge congratulations to @ItzMikeDocherty, @Windstride and @That___Lad who have all recently announced they have been hired to work for BI on DayZ! Excactly what they are hired for, we'll have to wait and see, but this can only mean excellent things for DayZ's future. All three have given so much to the community, so long may that continue!

Zagoria Lives!

The PLNetwork, is offering a unique take on DayZ for console players with their Zagoria server. Project Lemons shared screenshots showcasing a dramatically transformed Chernarus! Lush greenery engulfs buildings, creating an overgrown and immersive world for players to navigate. This unique aesthetic promises a fresh challenge for Xbox console survivors, highlighting the creativity within the DayZ community.

A True Love Story

@RecedingMan made this genuinely hilarious video with snippets from past dev streams. I wish anyone looked at me the way they look at each other. RecedingMan likes to add an edgy spin to his content, making his videos stand out from the crowd.

Pedal's to the Metal

All DayZ events are great... but driving DayZ events hit different. Join @MistaHanMan1 this weekend for an event that will take you around Deer Isle in a way you've never been before!

Skids, crashes and hopefully a winner, Mista Han Man will be streaming over on Twitch, 12th May. 1pm Central. 3pm Eastern. 7pm BST.

Video of the Week

Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast (shameless plug) review a video for each episode. This week, Dave chose AmishZed's Battle Royale on PRISON ISLAND in DayZ - Unedited

Amish is playing the ever popular Vigrid servers, a Battle Royale style set of server created by @IkoneecTV. The goal? Be the last man/team standing, even if the zone lands on Prison Island!

Nuclear Fallout in DayZ?

@EveryOneKnowsDave. And every one knows he's a huge Fallout fan. Put the two together and you get one hell of a fun server!

Just like regular Fallout games, you start in the vault. You can meet other players here or decide to travel the wastland alone.

From custom assets to brand new enemy types, FalloutZ is one hell of an ambitious server that executes its target as if it V.A.T.S.

The FreshSpawns love a new server and love making content on them even more. Check out their adventure below!
