We know it’s not going to happen but you have to admit that ARMA 4, if it ever gets announced, will look fantastic on CryEngine. Earlier today a video was posted online by RealTime Immersive Inc, which demonstrates the potential for the simulation of military ships and vehicles by way of the hugely powerful CryEngine. The video gives us a look at a virtual rendering of a US Navy ship developed in Virtual Attain CryEngine.

With Hall as project lead, the mod will be developed into a standalone game by Bohemia Interactive, creators of ArmA II.

Developments and updates of the mod will still happen in conjunction with the full game, following what Hall calls the “Minecraft development model”, quick iterations and community Alpha available at a huge discount.

The game will gain its own website, www.dayzgame.com, with the mod still running from the existing site. Question is, will Day Z be coming to consoles?

Bohemia Interactive are showcasing DayZ at this years gamescom.
