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.

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. Daybreak Games, the developer of open world survival horror game H1Z1, have today released a statement regarding the future of the IP.
