H1Z1: King Of The Kill PS4 & Xbox One Versions Put On Hold
In a new post within the H1Z1: King Of The Hill's recent updates on the game's Steam page, community manager Greg Henniger updated fans with news that, due to a "risky schedule" trying to release the game on three different platforms, the console version's (PS4 & Xbox One) development will temporarily be put on hold and take a bit longer than expected.
Here's a section of the post detailing the delay:
"We were just as excited as our players with the idea of King of the Kill on their PS4 or Xbox One. As we started to execute against that plan, it became apparent that the schedule was just too risky. We were spread too thin trying to fix areas of the game while simultaneously getting the game to work on the console hardware. It became clear that to best line up the game for success was to reduce the number of variables in the equation.
As a result, I have decided to pause our efforts on the console versions and put 100% of the focus on to the PC version of the game for right now. It was definitely a tough decision, but I think it was the right one to make. We have been able to make essential updates to the gunplay, combat, and vehicles, get the new map in a state to go live, and add lots of polish to the core areas of the game."
As far as when development will continue, Greg states that as soon the game leaves Early Access on the PC, their work on the console versions will instantly continue. At this time, he's not willing to promise an exact date, in favor of taking the time to get the game perfect for release.
H1Z1: King of the Kill is a fast-paced shooter in which players compete in large-scale chaotic PvP spectacles of skill, wit and a little luck, where everyone must fight to the death to stand alone at the top of the podium.
