H1Z1
''Z1 Battle Royale'' (formerly ''H1Z1'' and ''King of the Kill'') is a battle royale game developed and published by Daybreak Game Company. The game's development began after the original ''H1Z1'' was spun off into two separate projects in early 2016: ''H1Z1: Just Survive'' and ''H1Z1: King of the Kill''. The games were further split as separate projects in October 2017, with ''Just Survive'' dropping the ''H1Z1'' name, and ''King of the Kill'' becoming simply ''H1Z1''. After three years of being in early access for Windows, ''H1Z1'' officially released as a free-to-play game in February 2018, later released for the PlayStation 4 in August 2018. A month later, development of the game was transferred to NantG Mobile, who attempted to "revert" (redevelop) the game back to how it was in March 2017 (pre-Season 3), rebranding it as ''Z1 Battle Royale'' with their Season 3 update. In April 2019, development of the game was given back over to Daybreak. Development ''Z1 Battle Royale'' ...

Battle Royale Game
A battle royale game is an online multiplayer video game genre that blends last-man-standing gameplay with the survival, exploration, and scavenging elements of a survival game. Battle royale games involve dozens to hundreds of players, who start with minimal equipment and then must eliminate all other opponents while avoiding being trapped outside a shrinking "safe area", with the winner being the last player or team alive. The name for the genre is taken from the 2000 Japanese film '' Battle Royale'', itself based on the novel of the same name, which presents a similar theme of a last-man-standing competition in a shrinking play zone. The genre's origins arose from mods for large-scale online survival games like ''Minecraft'' and '' Arma 2'' in the early 2010s. By the end of the decade, the genre became a cultural phenomenon, with standalone games such as '' PUBG: Battlegrounds'' (2017), '' Fortnite Battle Royale'' (2017), ''Apex Legends'' (2019) and '' Call of Duty: War ...
