New ARMA 3 DLC confirmed! According to the announcement by Bohemia Interactive, ARMA 3 DLC: "Zeus" will feature a new game type that will let players be a "game master"

Bohemia Interactive announced a new DLC for ARMA 3 called "Zeus". ARMA 3 DLC: "Zeus" will be released in the second quarter of 2014 and it will be FREE.

The ARMA 3 DLC "Zeus" delivers a new form of multiplayer, in which players can take on the role of Game Master and curate the online battles of other players. The concept is further introduced in the DLC's reveal trailer.

According to the press release, improvisation is the ultimate key to success in the new ARMA 3 DLC "Zeus".

"Inspired by tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons, a limited number of players can assume the role of Game Master, and influence the multiplayer experience of those with boots on the ground. Watching the battlefield from a bird's-eye view, wielding an intuitive real-time editor, Zeus can create, manipulate or expand mission content to generate new stories and a flow of challenges.

"The result is incredibly dynamic, unscripted combat gameplay - and multiplayer sessions which are filled with unexpected, challenging, and creative events."

The "Zeus" multiplayer concept works across all familiar multiplayer game types, such as Team Deathmatch and Sector Control, where players can either work with or go up against "Zeus". The most unique game type in the ARMA 3 DLC "Zeus" is the "Zeus Game Master" mode where game masters are free to create objectives, spawn units, and basically do whatever they want.

On top of the diverse range of official "Zeus" scenarios that will be available, the ARMA 3 DLC: "Zeus" gameplay can also be implemented into player-created multiplayer scenarios.
