The Escapist har snappat upp att DayZ dykt upp i Steams databas med ett "Early access"-paket. Joystiq frågade ut spelets skapare, Dean Hall, på vilket han svarade:
"Amazing how quickly the internet picks up on things, isn't it. All I can say is that progress has been very good, we're a mix of nervous and excited. And as I'd stated on my twitter when I announced my break from social media/updates, we are on the final lap. Part of the final process involves the actual administration of the release, which is actually surprisingly complex and time-consuming. So, to confirm, there is no release date announcement and we're 100 percent focused on getting the alpha out the door."
Dean har tidigare sagt att en Playstation 4-version mycket väl kan bli aktuell efter releasen på PC.
