The game, originally known as H1Z1 and later as H1Z1: Just Survive, is set during a zombie apocalypse in the rural United States. In it, players attempt to survive against the natural elements such as wolves and bears, hordes of zombies, and thousands of potentially hostile survivors through interaction, scavenging for resources, building shelters, and crafting. H1Z1 has become the official name of the other mode co-developed alongside this game, King of the Kill and is not the same game or sharing the same servers anymore.
