This is all the info we have currently on the price increase/sale matter:

The DayZ development team in association with Bohemia Interactive would like to announce that having completed our initial year of Early Access development, we have reached an important project milestone. Looking forward to the opportunities of the coming year, we would like to share our plans and goals for 2015.

Recently the team has reviewed our progress throughout 2014 against where we require DayZ to be when it reaches it's final release version. After looking through this data we have compiled a brief development roadmap for 2015. This roadmap will hopefully give you a taste of the exciting things, that we in store for DayZ over the next .

Q1 2015

· Basic vehicles

· Advanced loot distribution

· New renderer

· New Zombie AI

· Basic stealth system (zombies and animals)

· Diseases

Q2 2015

· Advanced vehicles (repair and modifications)

· Advanced animals (life cycle, group behavior)

· Player statistics

· New UI

· Player stamina

· Dynamic events

Q3 2015

· Traps

· Barricading

· Character life span + soft skills

· Animal predators + birds

· Aerial transport

· Console prototype

Q4 2015

· Animal companions

· Steam community integration

· Construction (base building)

· BETA version, expected price 34,99 EUR / 43,99 USD

Plus every month there will be new weapons, objects, craft able items, vehicles and implemented additional features and optimizations.

A more complete Roadmap will be released in the following weeks.

Brian Hicks, the Producer on DayZ stated; “2014 has been an immensely successful year for DayZ. We could have never hoped for so many people to join us for the adventure of Early Access development. As the team looks forward to our goals and features set for 2015, the vision of an open world sandbox where the player creates their own story and experiences comes closer to completion”.

Along with the updates, you can expect a new price point for DayZ which will be 34.99 USD. This is part of a gradual price change as we progress with the development, and reach the goals that we set for the project. We would like to avoid a sudden increase in price once we hit the final release version. The current price of 23.99 EUR/29.99 USD will still be available during the Steam Fall sale. If you want to start surviving in DayZ, then now is the best time to get involved.

As well as the roadmap, we are thrilled to announce that the first half of 2016 will see our final release version and release from Steam Early Access, with our final price point of 39.99 EUR / 49.99 USD.

I thought it was related to a possible Black Friday sale. (increasing the price to adjust the sale that is going to happen)

It's possible, but I still think that the game is perhaps a bit too new, or not developed to a high standard yet to warrant it going on sale at any large discount during said sale. Maybe like -25% off, but not much more than that, I wouldn't have thought.

See, thing is that we have been told time and time again that the price of the game will increase at each stage of development. If that's true, which I have no reason to doubt, then that could signify that the game is preparing to go into it's Beta stages of development inside of, perhaps, the next couple of months.

I regret paying 29 for this why would they raise the price on this POS

[acetyl coA]

I thought it was because of the Black Friday sale too

[Cat]

more money for this scammers

[cr151s]

Yep, its sale time. Price went up to 39$, now got a 15% discount on it and is now available for 29,71$. Oh steam, you marketing pros.

[Weulf]

now it's on sale for the same price it was at yesterday.. yea. the game is too much money at $30 $35 doesn't make it any more appealing.

[Jaydee]

MIGHT go to beta? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do it then BEFORE you increase the price! wtf.. why the hell people would even pay 30 dollars for a POS game in early access ALPHA is beyond me.. quit buying it and let them take a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hint to fix the ♥♥♥♥ and get it into beta, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ morons!!!
