The survival MMO H1Z1 is said to have a bright future ahead according to studio president John Smedley.
A few weeks ago, the concise studio president of Daybreak Game Company, John Smedley, outlined the future of the MMO shooter Planetside 2 using only the brightest colors.
Those who thought he couldn’t top that are mistaken: The future of H1Z1 is, if you believe Smedley, at least as rosy and twice as massive.
A huge world of 16,000 square kilometers is said to come
Work on the engine is progressing well, it is said. And with Forgelight 2 it will be possible to have a world of 16,000 square kilometers. Players could build, conquer, and defend their own cities. This is not chatter, no “dream of someday,” but a very realistic scenario that is getting closer every day. All striving serves this goal. The AI problems with the zombies are also expected to be under control soon – and there will also be weather again.
More of everything – except for cheaters and bugs, of which there will be fewer
They are fully behind H1Z1, will continue to grow the team, and will neither rest nor take a break to continually expand it. At the end of the month, various professions will introduce some RPG elements, they will continue to work hard on the bugs, enhance cheater detection, and employ auto-bans and new methods, according to Smedley.
H1Z1 is not a flash in the pan, but an ultra-marathon project
Soon they will make major announcements. H1Z1 is not like other early access games, some flash in the pan that the respective developer team will abandon once the initial flood of players subsides, but a fully-fledged project that they are standing behind with all their strength. It is an ultra-marathon for the team.
Anyone looking at another game is asked by Smedley to remember to come back in a few weeks and see what has happened with H1Z1 in the meantime.
