it's possible?

Recommended Posts

Dayz on Console (PlayStation) is being very well received and claimed, they hardly find it in Stores and people are crazy about having 1 game ... It would be great to have even just the BASE ARMA 3 game on the Console !! ;) Would it be possible? Thanks

forgive my language, I am Spanish and I use google translator.

No. There will never be an Arma 3 on console. This was ruled out seven years ago back in 2014 and BI has not changed from this stance ever since:

Bohemia rules out consoles for Arma 3

 

Czech developer Bohemia does have PS4 and Xbox One dev kits, but Arma 3 won't be adapted for them. "We've basically dismissed it for Arma 3," project leader Joris-Jan van t' Land told me.

 

"I personally really like consoles so I would love to see it on there, but for Arma 3, from the start it was developed as PC only, and it wouldn't do it justice - there wouldn't be an easy port to console. You'd really have to redesign stuff like how the controls work, and the interface, so for Arma 3 that's out of the scope. For something that is next, it is becoming much more likely to be multiplatform."

 

The team apparently tried to port Arma 2 to Xbox 360, but, van t' Land told me, "we couldn't get it right". For the next two years, the 50-70 person Arma 3 team will focus on, simply, Arma 3.

"Arma 3 we are supporting at least for the next two years," declared van t' Land. "We have the plans in place for that. Whatever is next [ie Arma 4], I don't think a lot will happen this year in terms of pre-production. But 2015 will be the year when we need to start thinking about what's next. We don't have concrete plans at the moment.

 

"I think it will be something in the franchise [the next game], but we're not sure what. And the company is growing, as you've seen - many new offices - so there are more resources as well to handle multiple [things]."

Your only hope is that a future Arma title will be multi-platform but that could be years away before we get any news. That's assuming if BI decides to make it multi-platform, which is not guaranteed at this point.
