H1Z1: The world will end on Thursday, comes back with weaker bears [Update]

In the survival MMO H1Z1 the apocalypse is postponed for two days, it will happen on Thursday.

It was originally scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, but it has been pushed back by two days: The next “apocalypse”, the next server wipe in H1Z1.

Normally, a new build goes to the test server on Thursday; the patch comes on Tuesday. Now the developers have reversed it, the test server was patched on Tuesday, and the live version is expected to be ready on Thursday.

H1Z1 in January, a lot has happened since then … but bears remain really nasty until Thursday

The patch coming on July 2 includes another server wipe. Four new military bases are being added to the map. The map is changing: This necessitates a wipe.

The patch brings team battle royales for pre-made teams of 2 to five players. Additionally, the bears will be toned down. They have been true killing machines all along.

The RPG elements won’t be ready in June; they are expected to arrive in July: Then survivors will be able to choose a job they had before the Z-thing. This job is supposed to provide them with certain benefits.

Update: The patch is expected to arrive in the evening our time. Around 9:00 PM.

[H1Z1 Update] Tomorrow’s patch will come a little later in the day. Roughly around noon Pacific. Stay tuned for updates.
