Looking forward to the opportunities of the coming year, we would like to share our plans and goals for 2015.
Recently the team has reviewed our progress throughout 2014 against where we require DayZ to be when it reaches it’s final release version.

Brian Hicks, the Producer on DayZ stated; “2014 has been an immensely successful year for DayZ. We could have never hoped for so many people to join us for the adventure of Early Access development. As the team looks forward to our goals and features set for 2015, the vision of an open world sandbox where the player creates their own story and experiences comes closer to completion”.
Along with the updates, you can expect a new price point for DayZ which will be 34.99 USD. This is part of a gradual price change as we progress with the development, and reach the goals that we set for the project. We would like to avoid a sudden increase in price once we hit the final release version. The current price of 23.99 EUR/29.99 USD will still be available during the Steam Fall sale. If you want to start surviving in DayZ, then now is the best time to get involved.
As well as the roadmap, we are thrilled to announce that the first half of 2016 will see our final release version and release from Steam Early Access, with our final price point of 39.99 EUR / 49.99 USD.

November 26, 2014 — Bohemia Interactive today deployed a major title update for their (Early Access) space exploration game, Take On Mars. Highlights of the update include the addition of multiplayer, which enables players to establish the first human colony on Mars in co-op, plus the update implements the first survival gameplay elements.
In multiplayer, people have to work together to build a self-sustaining habitat on the Red Planet. One of the key challenges there will simply be surviving the harsh conditions on Mars. With various vehicles and high tech equipment at their disposal, players will have to manage their resources, construct (pressurized) buildings, grow food, recycle waste, and conduct various scientific experiments. Multiplayer progress is recorded via a unique ‘viral’ multiplayer save system, which means that whenever someone saved the game, the save file is shared with all the players who are connected to the multiplayer session.
Furthermore, the new update also packs a variety of brand new vehicles and equipment, including a drilling rig, atmospheric processor, material refinery, different types of Astronaut suits, a thruster-powered VTOL aircraft, a fork lift, and many new building parts. Last but certainly not least, a new location has been added: the Apollo 17 landing site on our own Moon.
The complete list of highlights from the Take On Mars ‘Survival/Multiplayer’ update:
- Multiplayer
- ‘Viral’ Multiplayer save system (sends save to all connected)
- Pressurized buildings
- Drilling Rig, Atmospheric Processor, Materials Refinery
- 3 Astronaut suits (light, medium heavy)
- Inventory system (can take off suit, equip tools, eat food, and more)
- New vehicles (4-seat VTOL thruster-powered aircraft, Fork lift)
- The Moon location (Apollo 17 landing site)
- Many new building parts
- Survival elements (oxygen, food, water, vitamins, and more)
- Player sounds (grunts, breathing, death, and more)
