Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed a Steam Early Access release date for its post-apocalyptic zombie MMO game, H1Z1. It will be available on PC via Steam from January 15 next year for $19.99.
Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley announced via Reddit that the company was expecting to release two versions of the game. The first of these will be the Early Access version, and a “more expensive one” will be announced “shortly.” According to Smedley the difference between the two versions would include features such as different game mode servers and “other specifics.” Smedley confirmed that these different game mode servers could also be accessed by purchasing or earning tickets.
Smedley reiterated that the Early Access version of H1Z1 would not be a finished game, posting “If that’s what you’re expecting, DO NOT BUY EARLY ACCESS. The goal here is to let you in early and help us mold it into a game you want to be a part of for quite a long time.”
Inspired by DayZ and The Walking Dead, H1Z1 was announced earlier this year. Earlier this year Sony Entertainment Online confirmed that H1Z1 will also launch for PS4, although a specific release date has not been revealed.
