For 'DayZ', developer Bohemia Interactive has released patch 1.06, which also includes a brand new map for the survival adventure game – Livonia.

On this brand-new, 163 km² map, players can enjoy the hardcore survival hit in a completely new environment. They can test their survival skills in the unfamiliar landscape of Livonia and find out how long they can survive in this even more deadly setting.

However, the landscape isn't the only thing that offers DayZ players variety. Livonia's mild late-summer climate often brings rain and thunderstorms, presenting players with additional challenges on their journeys – making protective gear and safety more important than ever.

And with a new wilderness come new threats. Most notably, there's a new predator roaming the forests of Livonia – bears! – and they won't be friendly to human-made threats. Survivors must be well-equipped to deal effectively with these grizzly enemies.

DayZ Livonia is available separately and as a full version with the DLC.
