There is no definitive answer for this currently, but it should be less than $25. 

There are currently no plans for pre-orders or early access. 

Yes! 

As our first non-European/non-Far East terrain, Nasdara requires entirely new additional assets, brand new terrain, and more. The 267km² map size, combined with complex war-torn environments, makes this our most ambitious project to date. 

DayZ Badlands will be located in the Nasdara Province. It is situated along the westernmost borders of Takistan, a well-known terrain from Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead that lies west of Chernarus. 

Nasdara will be 267km², making it the largest DayZ official map. 

Nasdara is an entirely new terrain, not ported, adapted, and modified from existing terrain like Sakhal. While geographically connected to Takistan's western border (itself located west of Chernarus), Nasdara represents a completely original creation for DayZ Badlands—never before seen in either the DayZ or Arma universes. 

Nasdara is not based on any real-world location. This fictional borderland draws inspiration from Middle Eastern landscapes, while its conflicts and history extend as the alternate narrative of the Arma 2 universe. 

Set along Takistan's western frontier, Nasdara is a resource-rich region where global superpowers waged endless proxy wars for control. Now ravaged by conflict and reset by the outbreak, this land exists in a power vacuum—and you, the remaining survivors, will determine what happens next. 

Not quite. While DayZ Frostline is mainly about on surviving Sakhal's "late winter" snowy wilderness, DayZ Badlands should provide a much different challenge: navigating a drought-stricken "spring" in Nasdara's war-torn expanses. The open desert terrain and legacy of conflict create natural hotspots for player encounters where scarce resources and strategic locations invite tension with, or refuge from, other players. Extreme weather elements are addition on top of that experience. Meanwhile, Frostline's blizzards and isolation turn the environment itself into the primary adversary. Both terrains test survival skills, just through different extremes of the DayZ experience. Each is deeply rooted in DayZ's DNA while offering distinctive flavors. 

Yes. Marking a first for DayZ, Nasdara is our first non-European/non-far east terrain. You can expect authentic regional architecture, city layouts, houses, and environmental storytelling. Our team is now undertaking the most ambitious asset production in DayZ's history to breathe life into this desolate land.
