I can find hardly any sources which discuss the engine, and if it should be written about anywhere it's within the DayZ article itself at this stage. Sam Walton (talk) 06:27, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The engine name was only formerly announced at E3 in the last couple of days hence the lack of sources, it is the Enfusion engine however (not Infusion as it has been changed to in the DayZ article, unfortunately the original interview where it was announced was transcribed incorrectly as Infusion, because of this a lot of sources are incorrectly referring to it as Infusion.

Here is another developer referring to it by it's correct name (Enfusion) http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/27umee/before_everyone_loses_their_collective_shit_omg/ci4mpsj

I've also verified this myself with the DayZ developers as I have direct communication with them being a member of the DayZ forum team. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/user/65596-smasht/

Here is the CEO of Bohemia Interactive clarifying the name. https://twitter.com/maruksp/status/477010484324233216 — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmashTAU (talk • contribs) 15:54, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As noted on page 23 of the BIS brochure this engine will also be used for future Bohemia Interactive games and as such I believe it deserves it's own article rather than just being listed on the DayZ article. http://www.bistudio.com/files/pdf/bohemia_interactive_brochure_2014.pdf?5

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Redirect to DayZ (video game). Lack of independent notability, although there's a bit of info e.g.[1]. DayZ seems to be the first (and maybe only) game using the engine. An engine that's only featured in one game wouldn't normally be separately notable, because it is only discussed in the context of the game. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to DayZ (video game) per Colapeninsula. Twitter posts and reddit are not sufficient sourcing for claims, and while the pcgamer article mentioned above is closer to significant coverage, it still appears that this engine does not have relevance independent of DayZ.Dialectric (talk) 09:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to DayZ (video game). I don't see any independent coverage, either. Looks like this article was created a bit too soon. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:59, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
