Look to the Sky! Airdrops Confirmed for ‘H1Z1’
It’s official, survival games and random airdrops go hand-in-hand. Rust, DayZ and 7 Days to Die all have them, and now it’s been confirmed that H1Z1 will too. If you aren’t familiar with any of these games, they’re all of the variety that drops players in a hostile environment, usually with little to no gear and surrounded by things that are looking for something to kill.
H1Z1 is Sony’s attempt to take advantage of the recent success this subgenre has seen over the last few years, and while it looks rough now, so does its competition.
Because the worlds in these games tend to be on the volatile side, airdrops are the a way of making life a bit easier for players through the random dropping of precious resources from the sky. The only problem is that, more often than not, these drops only serve as a trap for new players. These unsuspecting noobs see the drop and pursue it, only to get gunned down by other players.
Sony also shared a highlight video from a recent “Devathon” stream. You can check that out below.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
