Bohemia Interactive released its first stable update of the year for its long-running zombie survival game DayZ yesterday. Update 1.24 brings several new features to the game, including a new weapon, the Vikhr rifle, more camouflage skins for the ballistic helmet, and an array of new sounds and animations to further liven up the game's fictional country of Chernarus.
Alongside this update, Bohemia also unveiled its broader plans for DayZ in 2024, which start with "a significant departure from our typical update delivery model." Bohemia doesn't specify what this departure is, but I assume it means there will be fewer updates that provide more features. Certainly, Bohemia is keen to reassure players that the game will continue to receive "robust" support throughout 2024.
