Mannen bak DayZ, altså Dean Hall, gjennomførte nylig et intervju der han kunne fortelle at et nytt prosjekt er igang. Det er ventet å bli et stort multiplayer-spill, men spillskaperen velger å være veldig forsiktig med å oppgi noen konkrete detaljer.
"What I will say is it's multiplayer. We're really drawing a line in the sand here and saying... that's where we want to be planting our flag in the ground; carving out new territory in terms of new multiplayer genres, or re-purposing different parts of other genres. I believe it's a gap in the market. For that reason I'm going to be pretty coy about exact specifics of it - also because of expectations and how experimental we are at the moment. I need to be deliberately coy; I need to avoid a kind of War Z situation."
Deans andre studio, Rocketwerkz, har fått økonomisk støtte fra Tencent, og dette har gjort det mulig å ansatte tungvektere fra utviklere som Bethesda og Creative Assembly:
"As part of the [Tencent] partnership, and basically for the last six months, we very quietly completed what I would call a revolution in the industry, by pulling some great people out of studios like Creative Assembly, Bethesda, Bohemia - so we've really pulled in some very senior staff into this crazy little country at the end of the world."
Det blir i det minste spennende å se om dette er et spill de vil bli ferdige med.
