An entry for “DayZ Early Access” has appeared on the Steam Database and is marked for launch in the United States, according to the database’s website. DayZ gained massive popularity after it was released as an alpha-stage mod for ArmA 2, and creator Dean Hall has since been working on turning DayZ into its own game.
The entry was added on Oct. 22 and states that the game is available but not ready for purchase just yet. Joystiq reports that DayZ creator Dean Hall wouldn’t confirm with them what the entry means, but noted that development is going well for the zombie survival title.
“Amazing how quickly the internet picks up on things isn’t it,” Hall said. “All I can say is that progress has been very good, we’re a mix of nervous and excited. And as I’d stated on my Twitter when I announced my break from social media/updates, we are on the final lap. Part of the final process involves the actual administration of the release, which is actually surprisingly complex and time-consuming.”
“So, to confirm, there is no release date announcement and we’re 100 percent focused on getting the alpha out the door,” he added.
