It’s called H1Z1&period; It’s a massively multiplayer game in which players fight for survival in a world where death is the only sure thing&period; The H1Z1 virus devastated mankind and left nothing but death and destruction in its wake and a world nearly empty of human life where the remnants of humanity are in a fight against extinction against those infected with the virus&period; It’s been 15 years since H1Z1 was first encountered and what’s left of the world before is overrun with the Infected&period; Humanity has been reduced to hiding in the shadows&comma; searching desperately for food and water and anything that can help to survive even for another day&period; But the Infected aren’t the only dangers in the world&period; Everyday life in the Apocalypse means dealing with all kinds of wild animals and the brutality of other survivors&comma; as well as finding your next meal and a safe place to sleep&period; It also means scavenging or crafting anything that can help you live just one more day&period; In H1Z1 every minute of every day is borrowed time and fearing for your life… unless you are the Danger &lpar;talking to you Walter&rpar;&comma; but life can and will go on… even in circumstances as dire as this&period; Humanity has not given in to the Infected&period; There are still pockets of humanity and the fight goes on&excl; Our vision for this game is very simple but ambitious&period; We are starting with what I would call &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Middle America” – an &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;anywhere and everywhere” town&period; The world is massive as you’ve come to expect from our games&period; Over time we will grow the world until we have our own version of the U&period;S&period; after the death and destruction brought on during the H1Z1 epidemic&period; It will be our own version of America&period; We’ll have urban cities and desolate wide open places&period; All connected seamlessly&period; Our focus is building a sandbox style of gameplay where players can build shelters out of resources in the world&period; They can even work together to make amazing fortresses complete with weaponry to help defend against both the Infected and other players&period; Players also have access to a very deep crafting system that can let players make a huge variety of awesome stuff&comma; including weapons &lpar;I made a 1911 the other day&rpar; and things like Molotov cocktails&comma; explosives… and other fun surprises&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h1 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center&semi;"> Number 3<&sol;h1>&NewLine;<h1 style&equals;"text-align&colon;
