Bohemia used a live concert to announce Arma 4’s release in 2027

Bohemia Interactive chose an unusual location to announce its next big game: a concert.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Czech studio Bohemia Interactive has put together a concert of video game music performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. The concert included songs from the Arma series as well as DayZ, Ylands and Vigor.

At the end of the final part of the evening, the game’s logo and release window flashed on the big screen, barely lingering behind the orchestra for more than a second, but it was long enough to capture the attention of the live audience and livestream chat to attract attention.

Of course, 2027 is still three years away, and it’s fair to say that Arma fans were hoping that Arma 4 would come out before then. There’s already a flood of memes about GTA 6 releasing before Arma 4, and we haven’t even hinted that Arma 4 might be delayed. The question is: which consoles will Arma 4 appear on when it releases in 2027?
