Frostline Expansion Gets First Major Update
The recently released Frostline expansion, featuring the harsh winter environment of Sakhal, receives its first significant content update with 1.28.

The expansion presents unique cold-weather survival mechanics, forcing players to adapt their strategies when facing both the infected and the unforgiving elements. With the current 26% discount, now presents an ideal opportunity for survivors to expand their DayZ experience.
When Will Update 1.28 Reach Stable Servers?
While Bohemia hasn't announced an official release date for Update 1.28's transition to stable servers, the deployment to Experimental suggests the full release isn't far off. Players eager to test the new features can join Experimental servers now, though they should expect the typical bugs and issues that come with pre-release builds.
The Walpurgis Sale and Update 1.28 arrive just in time for players to prepare for their summer survival adventures. Whether you're a lone wolf or part of a survivor group, these new additions and discounts offer plenty of reasons to return to the infected landscapes of Chernarus, Livonia, and Sakhal.
