Daybreak Game Company has outlined the latest – and likely biggest – patch for MMO zombie title H1Z1, which has been billed by the studio as a “big damn patch.”
The full breakdown can be viewed down below, with the update introducing a series of fixes to gameplay mechanics and zombie spawns, not to mention clamping down on general bugs. Server optimization is also a target of the patch, with a new male character model also making its way into the popular title.
Despite experiencing its fair share of problems in what proved to be a turbulent foray into Steam’s Early Access, H1Z1 has found an audience to call its own, with Sony announcing that the game has sold 1 million copies to date. It’s unclear exactly when the studio plan to give the MMO a fully-fledged release, though we fully expect Daybreak’s title to remain in Early Access until the dev irons out the vast majority of the technical kinks.
