Many PC gamers are eagerly awaiting the standalone edition of DayZ, and a new developer diary gives a walkthrough of the upcoming retail version of the popular zombie survival mod.
The video gives some new gameplay footage, and shows off the standalone’s multiplayer elements.
Dean “Rocket” Hall also gives a summary of why the Alpha isn’t ready for release just yet, and explains that more news regarding that will be available on the DayZ Devblog in the coming weeks.
DayZ Standalone is a game being developed by Bohemia Interactive along with Dean “Rocket” Hall, the creator of the award winning mod DayZ.
In addition to enhancements, there is also a new loot spawn system that can generate loot in some interesting nooks and crannies, and require players to really look and traverse around to gather the resources they need.
There are new locations in the game, particularly an island that featured in ARMA 2, which was highly requested by the community.
It was also previously revealed that the DayZ standalone will be getting weekly content updates, including clothing and weapon items.

sadly I’m not that excited for standalone as I was 10 months ago, I understand it must take alot of time and effort to convert the game from a mod to a single title. but I feel it might not do as well as originally intended.
