I remember people were speculating about this when they showed a screen with the username "DayZ100" during the PS Meeting.

Finally some news on this

Can't wait to play this, I wonder how H1Z1 will stand up against this?

The very successful survival-horror game DayZ is coming to PlayStation 4, it was confirmed today during Sony's Gamescom press conference.

Creator Dean Hall took to the stage during Sony's event in Germany to make the announcement. Little about this version of the game was revealed; there was no release date mentioned, and given the lack of the word "exclusive" being mentioned, it sounds as if it may also come to Xbox One.

Hall said developer Bohemia Interactive is "acutely aware of how important the PC version is to us." He noted the studio "didn't want to just port DayZ" to consoles, but wants to take advantage of each platform's respective strengths. He didn't provide any further detail about what that will mean for the console versions of the game.

This isn't the first time the prospect of DayZ for consoles has been brought up. When Hall discussed the idea earlier this year, he said he had spoken to Microsoft about bringing it to Xbox One, but that he had yet to do the same with Sony for PS4--a situation that's obviously changed since then.

It looks like althought somewhat similar DayZ and H1Z1 will also be quite different.

DayZ is pure schadenfreude PvP in very large maps, wherehas it seems like H1Z1 will be very coop harvesting / building bases oriented.

So Dayz more PvP (the original DayZ has rather scarce population of Zombies it seems, and is very heavy on survival against other players and elements), while H1Z1 probably more co-op/ Pve oriented (but still apparently some PvP).
