‘H1Z1’ Reaches Major Milestone on PS4, With New Goodies in Celebration

Published

Today Daybreak Games have announced a major milestone for their battle royale game, H1Z1. The title has been played by more than 10 million players on PlayStation 4 since the game’s Open Beta launch on May 22, 2018. Specifically, players have put in more than 102 million hours into H1Z1’s first month of the Open Beta. And to celebrate, Daybreak has a few goodies for those players.

To celebrate, Daybreak Games is giving all players who have downloaded H1Z1 on the PS4 a Darkfire Pickup Truck and Sunrise Parachute in-game skin for free. Players that logged into H1Z1 prior to 11:59 PM PST Wednesday, June 27, 2018 will be granted the in-game items directly to their inventory this weekend.

In addition, Daybreak Games have also released a massive new update for H1Z1, which introduces Revive mechanics and aim acceleration adjustments, as well as a new weapon, the Airstrike Signal, which allows players to call in a series of bombs to drop on enemies.

On the PC side, H1Z1 received a brand-new map earlier this week called Outbreak, which features “new terrain, points of interest, and art and textures”. In fact, the map also contains a few areas familiar to long-time players, as the map includes several landmarks from the original map that have been redesigned. The Outbreak map is designed for battle royale in mind, rather than using the old map, which was designed for Daybreak’s other game, the open world survival sandbox Just Survive.

And in case you’re wondering about Just Survive, the game that was split off from H1Z1, there’s still no word on if that will be headed to consoles. In fact, it’s still in Early Access on Steam.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
