The zombie survival game H1Z1 is getting a new name. From now on, the game will go a different path under the sole title “Just Survive” than the PvP offshoot King of the Kill.
There used to be a game called H1Z1, which was a zombie survival game. But then it was split into the survival part “H1Z1: Just Survive” and the much more successful PvP part “H1Z1: King of the Kill,” a kind of battle royale game.
And while King of the Kill received a ton of content and updates, the survival part of the game stagnated. This is supposed to change now! “H1Z1: Just Survive” will be thoroughly revamped as “Just Survive” without any reference to H1Z1 and is intended to exist as a standalone game without any relation to King of the Kill.
Just Survive without H1Z1, but with more content coming soon
Just Survive will be relaunched as a standalone game without any reference to H1Z1. Unlike the old game, it will even have a story. The military aims to restore order after the zombie apocalypse and make the USA a safe living space again. Additionally, there are now NPCs, such as snipers or quartermasters, who ensure safety or engage in trade.
Moreover, the following changes are included in the current major update for Just Survive:
- The new map Badwater Canyon replaces the old map. Only a small part of it is currently available; the rest will be expanded gradually.
- You can no longer build fortifications randomly in the world. Instead, there are fixed locations where you can build strongholds. These fortifications can be further expanded and serve as respawn points.
- There are fixed respawn zones in the military bases. You will no longer spawn randomly on the map.
- All weapons have been redesigned from the ground up and categorized into tiers.
- The zombies are now more dangerous.
- In exchange for resources, there are Golden Eagle Coins in trade. With these, you can further expand your fortifications, among other things. This is also meant to prevent hoarding valuable loot.
In addition to this major initial update, Just Survive is expected to receive more attention from developer Daybreak in the future and will again receive regular updates. Furthermore, the Just Survive team is intended to work completely independently from the H1Z1 team.
