H1Z1 is probably Sony Online Entertainment's next game, but what is it?

What is H1Z1? We’ve spotted what seems to be a game homepage for Sony Online’s next project. We’ve heard the name H1Z1 before, actually: in January, when we learned that SOE had registered it as a trademark.Even then the internet was speculating that H1Z1 was probably a survival game, and this foggy, full-mooned teaser site only supports that idea. Occluded by the fug is what seems to be a rural community, possibly a trailer park. The greater pieces of evidence, though, are two photos that SOE President John Smedley shared over Twitter in January:Other than the seemingly contemporary setting, one thing we can glean from the images of the church above is the change in time and lighting, a feature we’d expect from a multiplayer zombie survival game. Time-of-day is a feature of SOE’s Forgelight engine, which PlanetSide 2 and Landmark also run on.
