Daybreak Games has announced that its free-to-play Battle Royale shooter H1Z1 will be leaving PlayStation 4 open beta and officially launching on August 7th.
It’s been a strange old ride for H1Z1, of course; the title debuted on Steam early access in 2015 as an open-world zombie survival game, back when survival games were all the rage. A year later, Daybreak announced that it was splitting development in half to create two distinct titles.
H1Z1: Just Survive would be the new name for the original survival experience, while H1Z1: King of the Kill would take the game in a Battle-Royale-style competitive multiplayer direction.
