\"DayZ<\/p>

The DayZ Halloween event<\/strong> for 2026 is live. Bohemia Interactive’s annual spooky event started on 26 October<\/strong> and runs until 6 November<\/strong> on three maps: Chernarus, Livonia and Sakhal. Expect a castle shrouded in fog, mummy, jack-o’-lantern and witch infected, decaying player characters and a pile of seasonal cosmetics.<\/p>\n

There’s one notable exception: Nasdara, the new map from the DayZ Badlands expansion, isn’t getting the event. As Bohemia puts it, “the heat alone is scary enough”.<\/p>\n
