![]() We’re also excited to announce that the fast-paced shooter comprised of multiple, fight-to-the-death game modes, including Battle Royale, will be called H1Z1: King of the Kill (KotK). So, we’ve decided to do just that – we’re excited to announce that the survival game will now be called H1Z1: Just Survive, with a renewed focus on truly delivering a persistent, open-world zombie survival experience where scavenging, crafting, and base building are the difference between life and death. We want to make sure we give both titles the support they need and deserve to truly flourish. Many players in the community have been discussing splitting the game and we’ve heard you loud and clear. The more we developed this game with you, our community, the more we realized that in order to fully support both aspects of H1Z1, and their respective players, we needed to make them their own stand-alone games supported by their own dedicated development teams. Last year, we started to notice new player trends emerging – both the initial Survival game and Battle Royale game mode now have strong populations who almost exclusively play one or the other. Our community has been a huge part of the game’s roadmap and success. H1Z1® has been on an incredible journey since its inception, and the time spent in Early Access has been invaluable to the development direction of the game. To read every single detail of the press release, read on: H1Z1 was previously only announced for release on PS4 and PC under Sony ownership, and when the studio was renamed under new ownership there were rumours that the title may find its way to the Xbox platform. This will be a finalised version and not an early access version. The split will come into effect on the 17th of February and players that already own H1Z1 will receive the updated versions.Īnother big announcement was that H1Z1: King of the Kill will be releasing later this year on both PS4 and Xbox One. The survival mode of the game will be re-branded as H1Z1: Just Survive, while the Battle Royale mode will be titled H1Z1: King of the Kill. In a nutshell, the game’s two most popular modes will be splitting into two individual games. In addition to King of the Kill, Just Survive could come to consoles, but nothing has been decided yet.Daybreak Games, the developer of open world survival horror game H1Z1, have today released a statement regarding the future of the IP. ![]() H1Z1 officially split apart into two games-Just Survive and King of the Kill-in February 2016. It will remain in Early Access, priced at $20, through the end of 2016. It offers the same open-world gameplay that was in place when the zombie-themed game originally launched in 2015. The price will go up to $30 come September 20, so if you're interested, you may want to pick it up now.ĭaybreak is also working on H1Z1: Just Survive, which is basically the regular H1Z1 game as you already know it. King of the Kill's PC version sells for $20 through Steam Early Access. "By structuring the plan in this way, we ultimately will achieve higher-quality targets and not put the game in a situation where we have to compromise quality to hit a date." "We are creating a competitive game that is consistent, predictable, fair, and as fun to watch as it is to play," he said. Wynn went on to say that Daybreak refuses to compromise on quality, even if that means delaying something as it did with King of the Kill's console versions. ![]() We have been able to make essential updates to the gunplay, combat, and vehicles, get the new map in a state to go live, and add lots of polish to the core areas of the game." It was definitely a tough decision, but I think it was the right one to make. "As a result, I have decided to pause our efforts on the console versions and put 100% of the focus on to the PC version of the game for right now. "It became clear that to best line up the game for success was to reduce the number of variables in the equation," Wynn said. Producer Chris Wynn said in a blog post today that the studio was "spread too thin" trying to work on the PC and console versions at the same time, all of which were made internally. In February, Daybreak said King of the Kill would launch digitally for PS4 and Xbox One this summer. One of these is "Battle Royale," which was created by community member PlayerUnknown.
