Modes such as Skirmish are also on offer, so the primary focus of this title isn’t only on Battle Royale. That vision eventually became BATTLEGROUNDS, with Greene at the helm, otherwise known as PLAYERUNKNOWN.īack to H1Z1, The Battle Royale mode is just one part of the entire King of the Hill package. Of course, this meant that it was somewhat of an experiment, as Greene himself was constantly improving on his original vision. Starting out with the ARMA series, Greene incorporated the new mode and then went on to licence it for inclusion in H1Z1 as we see it today. The mastermind behind the “Battle Royale” genre as a whole, Brendan Greene, the Creative Director of Bluehole inc., was the very person who brought both of these experiences into existence. It’s not as though this concept was completely revolutionary at the time, but it felt like much of a refreshing sidestep from what is now seen as very uninspired in zombie settings. Whether in 2-player, 5-player, or even in solo, players will parachute into an area and the aim was to kill absolutely everyone. One of these modes was the infamous Battle Royale. The latter title had a different approach to gameplay in larger scale environments with a couple of different modes on offer.

Well, further down the line the game got split into two, with the original being repackaged as H1Z1: Just Survive and the other half being dubbed H1Z1: King of the Hill. The focus was on co-operation as you and the rest of your group worked together to fend off incoming zombies and potentially hostile survivors.

H1Z1 released at the beginning of 2015 as a Steam early access title, and was a zombie apocalypse survival game.
