The game, announced in April 2014. It will be free-to-play through micropayments,[2] though as of October 2014, the way the game will be monetized has not been clearly defined; a public discussion regarding the matter has been initiated by SOE's president on Reddit,[3][4] alongside another regarding the inclusion of custom servers.[5] H1Z1 will be available for early access on Steam, the 15th of January 2015.
Gameplay
Gameplay emphasizes multi-player cooperation, trading, and team-building.[6] In an interview with Adam Clegg from SOE it was made clear that unlike other zombie MMO games, the main focus will be on surviving against the zombies through team-work with other players, instead of being a player versus player "PVP" environment with a zombie backdrop.[7]
