Bohemia Interactive have announced thatArma 4, the next big instalment in their shooter simulation series, will release in 2027. The announcement came at the tail-end of Bohemia’s 25th Anniversary Concert, alongside some disturbingly gun-less footage of a coastal promontory with rippling ocean waters against a cloudy sky - it reminds me more ofThe Elder Scrolls 6’s announcement teaserthan any tactical mili-banger. Perhaps they’re secretly making an open world walking simulator? I kid, I kid. Please put the chair down.

Bohemiaunveiled Arma 4 back in 2022, telling CJ (RPS in peace) that the interveningArma Reforgerwould serve as a kind of bridge or testing ground: it has allowed Arma modders to experiment with the developer’s Enfusion engine, and equipped Arma 4 developers with player data and feedback. Reforgerleft early access in November 2023, with the final update adding such features as a totally revised supply system and something approximating fast travel.
Hi-fi battlefield recreations aside, Bohemia are also the developers of the legendaryDayZ, an enormous Arma mod taking the form of an open world zombie survival experience, which entered early access in 2013. I’ve never had huge interest in Arma, but DayZ’s obsessively in-depth injury systems have given rise to some of my favourite video game travel writing, likethe tale of Dr Wasteland. Perhaps I’ll try to get into Arma: Reforger properly in the run-up to Arma 4. It’s not like there’s any rush.
