DayZ Expansion Pack
Release Date: 2026
The third add-on for the very popular online survival game, in which we have to deal with zombies, hunger and other players. DayZ: Badlands features a new Middle-eastern sandy map, inspired by Afghanistan. The expansion emphasises the need to search for water and to avoid overheating.
DayZ: Badlands is the third DLC for DayZ, a survival MMO based on the zombie theme. In this case Bohemia Interactive studio offers an extensive map in a desert climate and its accompanying elements.
Badlands presents us with a survival challenge in Nasdar - a dry region of Takistan, a country inspired by Afghanistan. This is a 267 square kilometer expanse of sand and cracked soil, where decaying and abandoned Middle Eastern-style cities neighbor Soviet-era military bases and modern oil infrastructure.
Similar to Frostline, the third add-on offers not only a fresh map, but also new types of survival challenges. The difficult terrain forces players to search for valuable water and control the overheating level. We also have to deal with the region's characteristic wild fauna and new variants of zombies. Finding the means to treat a wound can now be a much more difficult task.
In addition to new gear, weapons and clothing, the expansion offers new weather phenomena, as well as an improvement in the fluidity of the terrain surface, making it look more realistic.
In DayZ: Badlands we can only play in online mode.
As a non-standalone add-on, DayZ: Badlands requires the base version of the game to run.
