DayZ is an open world survival game currently in development by Bohemia Interactive. Originally born as a mod for the popular game, Arma 3, DayZ is soon to be introduced as a standalone game.

Like Arma 3, it takes place in an enormous open world. Called Chernarus, the 86.9 mile² map is devastated by an unknown infection that has wiped out most of its population, turning some of them into mindless zombies.

The location is a fictional one, based on areas of the Czech Republic, where ArmA developer Bohemia Interactive is located.
