‘H1Z1’ Finally exits Early Access, Debuts New Mode
It’s taken a long while, but Daybreak Game Company’s battle royale game H1Z1 is finally out of Early Access. In addition to finally launching, the game also comes with a new Auto Royale mode, a Twisted Metal-influenced mode where up to 30 teams of four duke it out to be last vehicle standing. The maps are littered with powerups and health, so expect to have those flashbacks. According to H1Z1 general manager Anthony Castoro, “Auto Royale doesn’t rinse and repeat what is currently available on the market, it turns the genre on its head with a fresh approach — arcadey, vehicle-only battle royale unlike anything anyone has experienced before.”
Other changes in the full game include a heat map that displays the locations of other players before you parachute in, increased airdrops, a mini-map to help navigate, and other such goodies that you can check out here. Grab the game on Steam for $19.99. No word yet on when H1Z1‘s sister game, the zombie apocalypse-tinged Just Survive, will be following its sibling out of Early Access.
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.
