The DayZ 2 trademark
EU IPO, April 2026
Short answer
Bohemia filed a DayZ 2 trademark with the EU IPO in early April 2026. A filing is not a trailer. Unite made the filing make sense.
What a filing is
A trademark protects a name. Studios file years before ship. The April 2026 EU IPO mark for DayZ 2 is how the rumor jumped from job posts to headlines. It does not prove engine, map, or date by itself.
How it lines up
Vague 2025 hiring for an unannounced DayZ-series title, then the mark, then Unite. That is a clean breadcrumb trail. It is still not a Steam page for DayZ 2.
Don't over-read
Marks get filed and games still slip, rename, or sit. Use the filing as 'they want the name.' Use Unite as 'they said the game exists.' Use a store page as 'you can wishlist it.' We are in the middle bucket.
