DayZ Reveals Badlands Map
Bohemia Interactive has officially announced DayZ: Badlands, the survival game’s third major expansion — and it’s shaping up to be the most ambitious addition to DayZ yet. Featuring the largest official map in the game’s history and an all-new desert biome, Badlands transports players to the scorched and volatile Nasdara province — a fictional, geopolitically complex region west of Chernarus and bordering Takistan.
A Map Unlike Any Before
Spanning an enormous 267 km², the Badlands map dwarfs previous DayZ landscapes. It introduces a fully inland setting dominated by arid plains, jagged mountain ranges, and sun-bleached ruins. “This is the largest map we've ever created for DayZ,” Bohemia stated in the announcement, promising “a desert-themed wasteland full of untold stories and unforgiving terrain.”
The region draws clear inspiration from Middle Eastern conflict zones, complete with modern oil fields, derelict Soviet installations, and dense towns weathered by decades of military occupation and proxy warfare.
A Survival Experience Reimagined
With the shift to a desert climate, Badlands overhauls the traditional survival mechanics players have grown accustomed to. Hydration becomes a critical concern in a setting where droughts are frequent, and clean water sources are scarce. Players will need to adapt quickly to the extreme heat and scarcity of resources.
To help meet those challenges, the expansion brings in region-specific gear — including desert-appropriate clothing and firearms — and new variants of the infected, uniquely adapted to the harsh climate. These new threats add further tension to the already unforgiving gameplay loop that DayZ is known for.
A World Shaped by Conflict
Nasdara isn’t just a biome shift — it’s a story-rich landscape shaped by generations of conflict. Bohemia described it as a place “scarred by the legacy of war,” where ancient ruins lie side-by-side with rusting tanks and half-finished infrastructure. Highways built with dreams of unifying East and West now lie abandoned, symbolic of a fractured world.
