After years of speculation a DayZ 2 trademark has finally appeared, but the filing date is suspicious

DayZ 2 trademark has been filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EU IPO), but the application owner's identity is undisclosed due to an unpaid fee. Speculation about the sequel increased after hints emerged during the Microsoft vs. FTC case in 2023, where it was revealed that Bohemia Interactive is developing a sequel to DayZ. Multiple job listings for a 'DayZ series' project have also surfaced, suggesting development is underway. The original DayZ evolved from an Arma 2 mod to a standalone game, and a similar timeline is expected for the sequel, with significant updates likely a year or two away.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 developer seems to be working on a secret Unreal Engine project

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 ranked fourth in Game of the Year discussions for 2025 and is recognized as one of the best medieval games. Developer Warhorse Studios is speculated to be transitioning to Unreal Engine for future projects, as indicated by job listings that require experience with Unreal Engine. A user named Jakub Holík, tech ops lead at Warhorse, has also linked to job ads for an upcoming Unreal Engine project. The publisher, Plaion, has not confirmed any details regarding these speculations. Warhorse may be considering multiple projects or a complete engine overhaul, but it is unclear if Kingdom Come Deliverance 3 will use Unreal Engine. Community manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling stated that while the narrative of Henry has concluded, the Kingdom Come Deliverance IP is not shelved, and immersive RPGs will remain a focus for the studio.

Dead by Daylight dev sparks concerns with new job listings looking for gen-AI experience

Behaviour Interactive has a firm policy against including AI-generated content in Dead by Daylight or any other game, despite exploring generative AI tools for internal processes. Two job listings have raised community concerns; one seeks a senior full-stack programmer for backend and frontend features using generative AI, and the other is for a senior technical artist for an unannounced project, requiring experience with generative AI tools like Stable Diffusion. The technical artist role involves evaluating and documenting generative AI's effectiveness in artistic workflows and collaborating with artists. Community reactions are mixed, with some accepting AI for technical issues but expressing concerns about its impact on artistic integrity.
