I have to say I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't a thread here about this game yet...so I figured I would see whom else is impatiently awaiting this title same as me.
So a little information first:
COMING SOON TO EARLY ACCESS ON STEAM
- Enter a world that has been overrun by zombies and fellow survivors since the H1Z1 virus outbreak. This is not a hoax! This is the Apocalypse! Fight for your life against the infected and against the brutality of others as you attempt to live and see another day. Every moment is borrowed time with one question to answer...
Will You Survive?
- SURVIVAL MMO
The H1Z1 epidemic has driven civilization to a post-apocalyptic state. Alas, there is no zombie-free paradise, and you must use your skill and wits to survive against the elements, hordes of undead, and of course thousands of potentially hostile survivors. As an open PvP game, some players may be out to manipulate you; some may honestly be trying to help. Band together or fight each other for precious loot? Your choice.
- Intelligent Undead
Always looking for their next meal, your gunshot is the zombie dinner bell. zombies are programmed with emergent AI, making each encounter unpredictable. More players in your vicinity mean more zombie bait, so remember; there is not always safety in numbers.
- Dynamic Environments
As you explore "Anytown, USA" you will discover H1Z1 is a living, breathing world with a dramatic day-to-night cycle, dynamic weather, and combustible environment. Be careful as darkness falls and the moon rises, zombies might not be the only things that creep up on you.
- Weapons & Vehicles
You can use an axe or your bare hands to fight off zombies and other survivors, but players will also have access to an array of weaponry which can be found, looted, or crafted to fit the need of any lethal situation. And, although they take a lot of effort and resources to repair and maintain, vehicles are an additional way to mow down opponents and are a huge advantage in survival and multi-passenger transportation.
- Expansive Crafting
There's not much left in the wake of the epidemic. Increase your chances of survival by scavenging for items in the nooks and crannies of abandoned cars, truck beds, homes, and sheds. Combine the materials you find to create tools, weapons, animal traps, water collectors, explosives, and more! Your survival depends on your ability to be creative with what you can find.
- Base Building
Protect yourself from the elements, enemies, and ever-impending undead by building a defensible base. Group with others to create heavily fortified location whether a customized shack, shanty town, or governor’s mansion. Barricade yourself, your friends, and your possessions before you meet a sudden death and lose it all.
- Circle-of-Death
A fully-functional ecosystem of life (and death) means wildlife such as wolves, bears, and zombies have to eat too. Meanwhile, maintaining your health is essential to survival so hunting animals, setting traps, and foraging is vital to avoid starvation.
- Future Features
Once in Early Access, the H1Z1 feature set will continue to expand to include Player Ruleset Servers, the ability to play as a zombie, military gear, Air Drops, expanded selections of vehicles and weapons, increased customization, female player characters, an expanding map, and much, much more!

Ok...enough of the gibber gabber....on to the eye candy:
The game is looking amazing....there will be seasons and you will have to prepare for the season changes like in real life...stock piling and getting warmer clothes.
The only release date Sony has spoken of is....soon. They are really hyping it up with daily Dev Blogs and Pre-Alpha gameplay videos on their YouTube channel:

I personally cannot wait for it's release....the anticipation of the release has somewhat taken the lack of GTA 5 on PC information sting off and I might even be anticipating this more than GTA 5 now....
Anyone else been following this?
