Bohemia Interactive has announced DayZ Frostline, the survival game’s second-ever expansion (of course, modders have expanded the game in a number of ways, but this is only the second official expansion). As the title implies, DayZ Frostline will introduce a new wintery map, which will require players to manage warmth in order to survive. You can check out a quick trailer for DayZ Frostline, below.
A nice chilly update, just in time for, uh… summer? Need to know more about DayZ Frostline? Here’s the official rundown from Bohemia Interactive...
“The centerpiece of the Frostline expansion is the 83km² Sakhal terrain, inviting you to explore its rugged and desolate reaches. Unlike previous locations, you'll play as a survivor seeking refuge in the rumored safe haven of Sakhal, only to face an unforgiving environment frozen both in time and climate. Despite its brutality, Sakhal promises beauty at every perilous turn, with frozen lakes, snowy forests, and frosty peaks.
The proximity to volcanic regions amplifies the hazards, doubling the threats you'll face. Although the terrain may be more compact compared to previous ones, each new challenge in the expansion will deliberately decelerate your progress, compelling you to recalibrate your playstyles. To survive, you'll need to adapt like the new region-specific wildlife species acclimated to the cold, equipping winter-themed cosmetics to brave the elements and uncover Sakhal's intriguing structures and points of interest. Preparation is key to survival, and as the frost sets in, only those with ice in their veins and fire in their hearts will endure.”
