DayZ is one of just a handful of titles responsible for ushering in a wave of early access survival games on PC. The original game has been out of early access for a while now and thanks to documents revealed as part of the FTC VS Microsoft hearing over the Activision Blizzard acquisition, we know that a DayZ sequel is in development. 

One Microsoft summary card (via DSOG) shared during the hearing provides information about Bohemia Interactive, the developer behind popular titles such as ArmA, DayZ, and Vigor. The document mentions that DayZ remains one of the most played survival games, with over 34,000 peak concurrent players in the 30 days prior to the submission and just under 19 million console hours logged. The document also confirms that DayZ 2 is currently in development, along with ArmA Reforged and ArmA 4.

While no specific release window or development progress is mentioned for DayZ 2, it is worth noting that Bohemia Interactive is using its new Enfusion engine for its latest titles. As such, there's a good chance DayZ 2 will also be based on it.
