Up to last week, Z1 Battle Royale was being actively developed by NantG. After a round of layoffs from the Z1 team, Daybreak retook creative control of the game. Earlier this week, the team posted a brief note of reassurance to the Z1 Battle Royale community to let them know that servers will remain up, the name will not be changing and that they are hoping for “minimal disruption to the game’s service”.

Adam “Arclegger” Clegg, lead designer of Z1 Battle Royale, has tweeted that he has been laid off by NantG, a move that may spell big trouble for the game formerly known as H1Z1. Clegg also penned a lengthy farewell to the community and to the development team that is a mea culpa of sorts about the rocky road the game has traveled since first revealed years ago.
