Five years after starting the DayZ alpha phase, the game has finally entered its beta phase of development. Bohemia Interactive made the announcement via a new developer v-log that mentions what the team will be working on over the coming months. Most notably, Bohemia is focused on released 1.0 by the end of 2018.

    Wasn't this a Daybreak/SOE game? I seriously forgot stuff was still happening with it.

    The beginning of a long line of half baked survival games locked in a nearly never ending early access phase.

    5 yrs later, who really cares any more?

    Remember the good old days when games were announced then they would do few months of beta tests and release...
    Now kickstarers, early pre-alpha, alpha, early beta, beta, soft launch and finally after few years of testing we get a launch that is either filled with bugs and it's a disgrace or a bad game that shut downs couple months later.

    That's terrible that I can't even remember. That was H1Z1 right? Damn. It's been a long time. =(

    "For now, the price of entry remains the same: $35 during BETA, though it remains unclear if that price point will remain after the release of 1.0."

    Does that mean "buy it now before the price is raised" ? lol. I remember when this game was first sold on steam- it was $29.99 til a major steam sale and the price was raised to $34.99 and it got a 10% discount putting it at $29.99 for the sale. And I dont think I have ever seen it get lower. Do people really buy this?

    SMH... Now they can re advertise and milk beta for a few years. After that they can advertise the games launch and get some more sales. In the mean time, little changes are made, the game continues to be a clunky mess.

    5 years of Alpha? Holy smokes! Guess that's a norm nowadays... Hell, Star Citizen will probably be in Alpha for at least 10 years!

    This is become the face of online gaming not just MMO's. Players have lost trust, this must be impacting everything from pre-order to founders Kickstarter. As we get more huge delays, shoddy products and closures this effect will get worse. People won't think of all the good releases, the bad ones will weigh disproportionally on their minds.

    What's most impressive is that they still have a dev team and is still running. You would think paying salaries would be a problem by now. But apparently not. I'll give it a shot again.

    WOW and I thought ARK Survival Evolved was bad!
