Some fans would like to see the original finalized first.
Recently, DayZ fans have noticed developer vacancies. They began to suggest that Bohemia Interactive plans to expand the franchise with a new game, and not just release DLC for the current one.
The vacancy indicates that the "Senior Environment Artist" will be working on a certain unannounced project, and this vacancy for the applicant is a "chance to be at the heart of a groundbreaking game that will influence the future of the studio."
However, not everyone thinks that this is about a conditional DayZ 2. There is also an opinion that in fact the vacancy may be related to the Badlands add-on, which has already been announced, and the description on the site was simply not edited.
