Next, the game’s creators will upgrade the animals, i.e. add the life cycle and the group behavior, implement the statistics for the players, the dynamic events, the level of stamina, the new user interface and some more progressive vehicles.

Thanks to the following updates, which will come out in the third quarter of 2015, the players will get an ability to make the traps and build the barricades, use the air vehicles; the characters will receive the soft skills and the life duration, the predators and the birds will also be added. But the main point of this period will become the release of the project’s prototype on PS4.

And at the end of the year, according to the plan of DayZ updates, the developers will launch the beta version of this survival horror. It will cost $43.99. Also, the animal companions and the system of base building will appear.

So after all, Bohemia Interactive has stated that the release of the full project should be expected only in the first part of 2016.
