Hello, Survivors!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of update 1.27!

This is our first stable update of 2025. It marks an important milestone for the year ahead. As with similar updates in the past, this one focuses heavily on stability improvements, bug fixes, and other necessary refinements based on player feedback. But that’s not all. Following the scale of our last update, we couldn’t resist adding a few exciting changes as well!

Those of you who participated in the update’s experimental phase may already be familiar with the improvements we made to DayZ Frostline’s general environment and gameplay mechanics.

Greetings, Survivors!
The first milestone of the new year is here - the experimental release of game update 1.27! As with previous first-of-the-year updates, the focus is primarily on the stability of the build, as well as various internal tools and processes that will help us prepare for the rest of the year. Considering the scale of our previous update, however, we couldn't leave things totally untouched. So we made a few changes and additions based on our data and your feedback.
Here are some of the improvements we made to DayZ Frostline:

• We reinforced the eastern coast with more places to loot. Aniva city has been expanded, Baikovo hamlet has been turned into a village, and other smaller locations have been added along the eastern coast.
  
• The main island of Sakhal has been populated with more new snowy variants...

Season’s Greetings, Survivors! We’re thrilled to announce the return of our annual Christmas event across all official servers, maps, and platforms. The festivities will run from December 17th to January 7th. Let’s get into all the goodies we’ve prepared for you.  

Christmas Trees and Gifts The beloved singing Christmas trees are making their return! You’ll find them scattered across villages and towns on all three maps. We won’t spoil the fun by revealing their exact locations—you’ll need to go out and explore!  Each tree will feature gift boxes filled with goodies like food, Christmas-themed clothing, ammo, and more. As usual, opening these boxes will grant you gift wrap, which you can use to repackage a gift of your choice for a fellow survivor.

Survivors, 
It’s that spooky time of year, and we’re bringing a bit of Halloween spirit to DayZ! Halloween event returns for a limited time, running from October 29th to November 12th. 


October has been a busy month with a primary focus on the release of DayZ Frostline. With priorities shifting, we had limited capacity to expand the Halloween event, so this year’s festivities will be a bit more scaled back. Here’s what you can expect across the maps: 

• Livonia will feature the full Halloween experience, including decayed player characters, spooky zones, demon goats, seasonal infected, and fan-favorite seasonal loot like witch hoods, Day of the Dead eye masks, cauldrons, and more.
