Player numbers then fell so much that an esports league launched to boost the game cited them as the reason for folding before the first season was over.ĭaybreak Game Company has had a rough go of it lately. This time last year, H1Z1 had plummeted from averages and concurrents in the 86,000 and 150,000 range, respectively. The game’s peak players spiked to 12,731 concurrent users about mid-day yesterday its average had hovered in the 1,000 to 1,500 concurrents range the first two months of 2019, peaking at 3,500. So far, the relaunch appears to have worked, from an engagement perspective anyway. Avatar movement and animations have also been restored to their “PS3 movement values.” The full list of changes is on Z1BR’s Steam page. Weapon recoil and sway and bullet velocity, for example, have been rolled back. Other adjustments, features, and details that fell out of favor with fans who preferred King of the Kill have also been reversed. “It is a massive point of nostalgia for players and we knew we had to get it in for this patch,” the patch notes say.
Thus, Season 3 is called “The Return of the King,” and it even rolls back the loading screens and user interface to their appearances from late 2016 and early 2017. NantG comes to the scene with a huge patch that Anthony Castoro, the studio’s general manager, says will “bring back the game that so many of you fell in love with,” meaning the King of the Kill version from two names ago.
H1- sorry, Z1BR - also has a new developer: NantG, which is now taking over the project from Daybreak Game Company’s in-house developerx.
It has, in the past, been known as H1Z1, then H1Z1: King of the Kill, then back to H1Z1, and now this. The hardcore-survival-MMO-turned-battle-royale kicked off its third season on PC yesterday with a rebranding of that version to Z1 Battle Royale, or Z1BR for short.
