H1Z1 now on Steam Early Access

Sony Online Entertainment has announced that H1Z1 is now available on PC to all survivors worldwide through Steam's Early Access program.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, H1Z1 is a zombie survival MMO where players must use their wits and skills, as well as strategically align with friends and fight-off enemies to survive the worldwide infection. Players will have to overcome environmental elements such as starvation, weather and animals, hordes of zombies, and other hostile players if they want to live.

To accommodate a variety of playstyles, players have access to multiple ruleset servers in H1Z1 that can be mixed and matched, including: Player vs Player, Player vs. Environment, Head Shots Only, Hardcore and First-Person Only. Additionally, private servers will be tested throughout Early Access, giving players the power to create their own rulesets and community.

SOE has also partnered with the creator of PLAYERUNKNOWN's Battle Royale, Brendan Greene, to license the extreme survival mod for a dedicated Battle Royale server in H1Z1. Offering a unique gameplay experience, Battle Royale plunges players into a last man standing game-mode, where the only goal is to survive to the end.

At Early Access, players can expect to see initial iterations of crafting, base building, combat, vehicles, circle-of-death, day / night cycle, weather, player vitals, hunting & forging, and, of course, Zombies, in the game.

Players have two Early Access options to choose from. Standard - $19.99 USD - includes Early Access to H1Z1, as well as 3 Event Tickets, 2 Crates and 1 Crate Key. And Premium - $39.99 USD - which includes Early Access to H1Z1, as well as 25 Event Tickets, 3 Airdrop Tickets, 6 Crates, 4 Crate Keys and an exclusive Aviator Hat Crafting Recipe.

H1Z1 is expected to release for PC as well as PlayStation 4.
