Bohemia Interactive Quote:

“It's no surprise that gamers often talk about Rust and DayZ in the same breath. After all, both games are crafted from the very essence of survival, demanding a mix of tenacity and creativity that’s not for the faint of heart. 

It’s poetic that Rust & DayZ have navigated through a decade of evolving challenges—game trends, economic downturns, a global pandemic, and a plethora of titles competing in the survival genre—yet here we are, standing tall and leading the way. 

Here’s to the next Rust/DayZ ‘killer’ and to the next decade!”

Facepunch Studios Quote:
"DayZ was one of the initial inspirations behind Rust, way back in early 2013, so it’s exciting to finally be releasing a bundle featuring both games that we’re so proud of. 

They both have so much to offer, with regular updates and content, and different ways to play, there’s no wonder why our games are leading the survival genre at the moment. 

And to be at the top of this space is a testament to both studios' unwavering devotion to the players.”

About Bohemia Interactive
Our story began with our first game, Arma: Cold War Assault, released back in 2001. Developed by just a handful of people, this PC-exclusive title became a massive success. It sold well over a million copies, received numerous industry awards, and was praised by critics and players alike. Since then, we've grown from a ragtag bunch of garage devs to an international family of over 350 professionals – working on Arma 3, DayZ, Ylands, Vigor, the Enfusion engine, and various other projects. Our ambition: to make games that act as platforms for people to explore, create, and connect.
