Developer Bohemia Interactive has released a new trailer for its upcoming Badlands expansion for DayZ. Along with giving us a look at some of the new additions to the game arriving with the expansion, the studio has also confirmed that it is coming out on October 15th.
Owing to the desert setting of DayZ: Badlands, players will have to be careful about many new survival elements, like potential dehydration from being out in the sun for too long. Water is also a scarce commodity in the new map, and players will have to start figuring out how to get their hands on regional clothing that provides low insulation.
With hostile players being an ever-present threat, especially when it comes to locations where more valuable loot will be available, the personal radio is getting some enhancements as well. Along with being tools for long-distance communication, personal radios can also receive transmissions that, when decoded, reveal coordinates for new locations with valuable loot.
Decoding these transmissions will be a major task as well, and players will need to get their hands on all the tools they can find in order to do so. This might include things like local language ciphers and other decoding tools.
The trailer also gives us a look at the new rebuilding options in DayZ: Badlands, which allow players to find dilapidated structures and fortify them with brand-new materials. Details about this feature, as well as the desert environment of the Nasdara map, were revealed back in July.
DayZ: Badlands is coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
