Short article so quoted whole thing. If this is in the ARMA 3 engine you'll most certainly be seeing me in game.

It's been discussed before, but now it's official: smash hit zombie survival mod DayZ is being turned into its own game.
Dean Hall, the mod's creator, will be overseeing the game as project lead, and it'll be published by Dean's co-workers (and ArmA creators) Bohemia Interactive.
Hall says the game will "follow the Minecraft development model", which basically means "fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price."
Those already playing, don't worry: because development is taking place alongside support, "anyone who is playing the mod now will be able to continue to do so".
Can't wait to see what happens with a game actually built around the idea, instead of trying to force the concept onto a military sim that couldn't quite handle it.

I know we've even got some contests in the works for both those who haven't purchased ArmA II and played DayZ plus a few for the veteran DayZ survivors! Check my signature for server details including our Mumble. 

I didn't really want to buy Arma 2 just to play a mod, rather support the creators and now I can do so. Expected this to happen at some point but reminds me of how mods for HL2 became their own stand alones.
