'Just Survive' Development Canceled, Servers Shutting Down In October

by Rainier on Aug. 25, 2018 @ 4:08 a.m. PDT

Just Survive is a massively multiplayer game in which players fight for survival in a world where death is the only sure thing.

In Just Survive, the zombie virus has crippled civilization. Corrupted by the need to survive, gone are the comforts of society as a new normal permeates the world. You are one of the last remaining humans. Every choice matters, every moment is borrowed time, and every breath could be your last. If you don’t want to join the dead -- or the undead -- you’ll have to be cutthroat, resourceful, and alert at all times.

Scavenge, craft, and build to protect yourself from zombies, roaming beasts, and perhaps the deadliest threat of all – fellow humans.

Do you have what it takes to Just Survive?

Back in 2016 Daybreak Games decided to split H1Z1 into two games, H1Z1: King of the Kill and H1Z1: Just Survive, only to switch things up again and rename the latter into Just Survive, while returning H1Z1: King of the Kill back to H1Z1.

Now as it turns out Daybreak Games has decided to focus on H1Z1 and canceled Just Survive altogether.

Dear Survivors,

After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to sunset Just Survive on Wednesday, October 24 at 11 a.m. PT. The excitement of the game’s promise was palpable and its loyal community is still full of ideas for its future. Unfortunately, we are no longer in a position to fulfill its greatness and the current population of the game makes it untenable to maintain.

Just Survive was part of our first Early Access project, and we learned a great deal during its development. As with any open world game, the greatest stories came from our passionate players. From the incredibly skilled base builders to the free-ranging gangs, and all of the players named variations of “ImFriendly” and “PleaseDontShootMe”, we hope everyone had amazing adventures across Pleasant Valley and Badwater Canyon.

Thank you for taking the time to play the game, to help test it when we opened the Test servers to the public, and for all of the suggestions and feedback throughout Early Access. We truly appreciate everyone’s commitment and your contributions throughout the development process. Our promise is to do better and learn from every experience along the way.

Just Survive servers will remain available for play until Wednesday, October 24 at 11 a.m. PT, and starting immediately all Steam purchases and in-game transactions have been disabled. To find out if you are eligible for a refund via Steam, please visit this link.

Thank you again for your support and dedication to Just Survive.

Best,

The Just Survive Team at Daybreak Games
