‘H1Z1’ is Splitting Into Two Games This Month

Published

on

On February 17, the Daybreak Game Company will split their open-world zombie survival game H1Z1 into two separate video games complete with their own dedicated teams and resources. The decision was made last year, when the company realized the game’s Survival and Battle Royale modes had amassed substantial audiences who “almost exclusively play one or the other.”

The split will “give both titles the support they need and deserve to truly flourish,” explains Daybreak in a post on the game’s Steam page. In addition to the PC release, both titles are headed to PS4 and Xbox One, starting with H1Z1: King of the Kill this summer.

King of the Kill features the fast-paced, fight-to-the-death modes like Battle Royale, while H1Z1: Just Survive is “where scavenging, crafting, and base building are the difference between life and death.” Just Survive will remain in Early Access for the foreseeable future.

Current owners of the game will see both games listed in their Steam libraries when the split goes into effect on Feb 17. “Additionally, existing crates, keys, and items will be duplicated across both games. As originally intended, Airdrop tickets will be useable in H1Z1: Just Survive and Event tickets will be usable in H1Z1: King of the Kill.”

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
