It is rumoured that the island shown in the northern lake on the map is the developers version of Poveglia and will be the site of the initial H1Z1 outbreak. The developers have noted that during the games production they researched the real life island of Poveglia in the Venetian lagoon extensively which was used as a plague colony in the 18 th century and have stated that this factors into the lore of the game. It has been confirmed that there will be no "safe zones" in the map, it will be a fight for survival from the moment you spawn. Crafting items has also been implemented. In an interview with Adam Clegg from SOE it was made clear that unlike other zombie MMO games, the main focus will be about surviving against the zombies through teamwork with other players, rather than having a player versus player (PVP) environment with zombies as a backdrop. Banners can be crafted from six wool and a stick in a pattern resembling a sign. A banner also breaks and drops itself as an item if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

Banners can be broken with or without a tool, but an axe is fastest. Gameplay emphasizes multiplayer cooperation, trading, and team-building. Banners are tall decorative blocks, featuring a field that is highly customizable using dyes and banner patterns.


The game is set during a zombie apocalypse in rural United States, in which players will have to survive against the natural elements, hordes of undead, and thousands of potentially hostile survivors through interaction, scavenging for resources, building shelters, and crafting.
