The first DLC for Arma 3 will be Arma 3: Zeus, offering a new form of multiplayer in which players take on the role of Game Master and curate the online battles of other players.
The DLC has been inspired by popular tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons, giving a limited number of players the ability to assume the role of Game Master. Watching the battlefield from a bird’s-eye view and wielding a real-time editor, Zeus can create, manipulate or expand mission content to generate new stories and challenges.
In Zeus Game Master mode Game Masters are entirely free to create objectives, spawn units, and steer players across the game world.
“The best thing about Arma 3 Zeus is how naturally it fits within the game. Dynamic combat, massive islands, and editing features – it was all there. But now we’ve added an interface which gives players full control over the multiplayer experience,” said Zeus’ design lead Karel Moricky. “The Zeus system is pretty modular too, so community creators can easily use it in their missions. Or take it apart and turn into something completely different. There are no rules, only those you make yourself.”
Arma 3: Zeus will be released for free in the second quarter.
