About Z1 Battle Royale
Drop into Z1 Battle Royale, a free-to-play action arcade battle royale where you fight solo, in duos, or fives to be the last one standing. The revamped classic restores the legendary "King of the Kill" feel with overhauled movement, combat mechanics, vehicles, and a reimagined PS3-era map, plus new seasonal ranked playlists and in-match missions.
New management is in town and restoring the game to it's former glory under a new name, Z1 Battle Royale. Since taking over development of the game in September the team here at NantG has worked with a firey passion to bring back the feel that was lost with the Combat Update. Our first major patch since taking over is coming out today March 6th and we couldn't be more excited for you all to get your hands on it.
A Few of the Season 3 Changes/Highlights:
-Major Overhaul/Restoration of Movement and Animations
-Updated/Restored Combat and Gun Mechanics
-Restored Vehicle Mechanics
-Restored PS3 Era Map, Environment, and Lighting.
-New: In Match Missions
-New: Fragments/Collection System
-New: Seasonal Play and Ranked Playlist
-Announcement of New Showdown Tournament
-All New Rewards
This is a patch you won't want to miss.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Z1 Battle Royale is remembered fondly by veterans for its fast-paced, arcade-style gunplay and the nostalgia of its early days when the Battle Royale genre was fresh and exciting. However, players largely agree the game has declined significantly over time, with a dwindling playerbase, poor matchmaking that often results in 1v1 encounters on massive maps, and aggressive monetization that persists despite the game's diminished state, leaving many to feel the studio abandoned what made it special.
