The revamped Chernarus is looking particularly gorgeous - well, apart from all the zombies and dudes with guns.

Building interiors have also had a lick of paint. You'll be able to enter more of these in the Standalone, though by the looks of things you won't be coming across many mattresses.

DayZ - life preserver

DayZ - life preserver

A guy stares thoughtfully at a life preserver, possibly thinking about all the friends and family he's lost to the sea - or maybe he's just wondering why the damn thing is clipping through the ground.

There won't be any vehicles at the DayZ Standalone's launch - Dean Hall and co are going to make some big changes, and add them later on.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
