An exciting expansion set in the desert awaits you for your next zombie adventure.
DayZ Badlands gives the popular open-world zombie survival game a fresh new look! The DLC promises a huge new area to explore and fresh gameplay features that are sure to make even die-hard veterans break a sweat.
We've gathered all the information available so far and will tell you what to expect in the Badlands and when you can expect the release.
The Terrain
In DayZ Badlands, you find yourself in the desert heat of the Nasdara province, a barren and arid region with canyons and numerous sandstorms. This place was already in chaos before the virus struck. If you want to survive, you'll have to conserve not only water, but also every single bullet. 267 km² of merciless desert wasteland await you. This makes Nasdara the largest map in DayZ to date.
„This fully inland territory is a scarred battleground with stories to tell.“ – Bohemia Interactive
In the midst of a landscape scarred by disease, history meets the present. Abandoned historical sites, densely populated cities, and dilapidated Soviet military bases stand alongside modern oil production facilities, refineries, and former highways.
Dangers Lurk Everywhere
The dry and hot climate alone quickly proves itself to be deadly in DayZ Badlands. Water sources are scarce, wells and infrastructure have not survived the war, and thirst becomes a constant challenge for players. Region-specific clothing, suitable equipment, and weapons are important items that should be found quickly in order to protect yourself from the heat and survive.
The war has also left deep scars in the Badlands. Nothing is certain here, and even small mistakes can be fatal. You can face dangers, form factions, fight for control, or attempt to rebuild. You write the story in the Badlands.
Release Date And Price
An exact release date for DayZ Badlands has not yet been announced. The DLC is scheduled to be released in 2026.
The final price has also not yet been determined, but Bohemia Interactive promises that the expansion will cost less than $25.
