How long can you survive a post-apocalyptic world? A land overrun with an infected "zombie" population, where you compete with other survivors for limited resources. Will you team up with strangers and stay strong together? Or play as a lone wolf to avoid betrayal? This is DayZ – this is your story.

-With no checkpoints or saves, when you die, you lose everything and have to start over.
-Complex and authentic survival mechanics, including hunting, crafting, building, health preservation, and resource management.
-Unpredictable and often emotional interactions with other players leading to a limitless spectrum of emergent gameplay.
-A huge 230 km2 map with a variety of beautiful landscapes and landmarks based on real-life locations.
-Up to 60 players striving to survive by any means necessary. Make friends, kill on sight, kidnap strangers and bend them to your will, or be betrayed for a can of beans. Anything and everything is possible.
-An array of environmental threats that will test your capabilities. From erratic weather and dangerous wildlife to pitch-black nights and rage-induced infected.
