Arma III pushed back
Czech developers Bohemia Interactive have announced that the release of Arma III is now officially going to happen in 2013 (given the lack of updates we sort of already guessed that).
Joris-Jan van 't Land, who recently assumed duties as project lead following Daniel Musil's departure commented as follows:
"We've been in the process of implementing changes that will help us innovate as a studio under unexpected circumstances - facing problems we simply couldn't have imagined", referring to the detainment of two Bohemia Interactive employees in Greece. Both were arrested on suspicion of espionage while spending their holiday on Lemnos - an island that served as inspiration for the environment in Arma 3. They have since remained in jail pending legal proceedings. "We're still trying to make sense of the situation and hope that our colleagues will be released soon. Although their plight has certainly affected us on a personal level, we continue working on the tasks identified as key to the release of Arma 3."
"I hope this update provides some answers regarding the status of the project. We're currently sorting the specifics so we can deliver a more complete announcement at the beginning of next year."
Bohemia Interactive are also working on a standalone version of popular mod DayZ.
