DayZ is still in the stages of development, but it’s slowly becoming quite the realistic survival game. If you don’t count the fact it’s full of zombies of course.

Joining the ranks of disease, exposure, hunger, thirst and other players who can also murder you if the zombies don’t are AI predator animals that Bohemia are beginning to add. The first examples are the old favourite – packs of hungry wolves. They can hunt and bring down their prey quite shockingly easy. Check out the trailer:

The footage is still work-in-progress so probably the wolves that make it to the final game will be a little bit tweaked. That besides, they look fast and fierce. A real threat to your survivors, armed or not. Have to wonder if they’ll go for zombies as well though.

Either way, the zombie infested wilds just got a little bit more dangerous.
