If you're a fan of open-world, multiplayer survival games, you've probably heard of the undead apocalypse-flavored H1Z1 from Daybreak - formerly known as Sony Online Entertainment. Much like a zombie virus mutating into ever more virulent strains, that game has split into two unique entities: H1Z1: Just Survive and H1Z1: King of the Kill.

As you might have surmised from the punny title that sounds like it came from a Halo multiplayer match, King of the Kill is a competitive shooter where your goal is to un-alive everybody before they can do the same to you. In Just Survive, you, uh ... just survive. Daybreak says that the split is due to fan feedback, and that each version of H1Z1 will get its own, dedicated development team - no more splitting resources.
