From cable clutter to couch comfort – our Gamescom highlight
Imagine: You arrive at Gamescom, compete against others in an epic mini-game, unravel a cable faster than anyone in Chernarus... and go home with a DayZ Couchmaster Limited Edition . Sounds like a loot spawn on the airfield, right?
Together with our partner Nitrado and DayZ , we're hosting a Partner Hour at Gamescom. The legendary "Cable Chaos" minigame awaits you there: Three participants, one tangled cable – whoever frees it first wins.
