H1Z1 June road map revealed: Professions, party system, and more on the way

Daybreak Game Company outlines future content for H1Z1

Daybreak Game Company has posted the latest developer road map for H1Z1, giving us a look at content and features coming to the post-apocalyptic zombie-survival MMO this month.

As you're probably aware, yesterday's update introduced a new weapon — the .44 Magnum Tear Gas grenade — removed the crossbow's automatic reload in ironsights and set a key binding for "Walking."

Looking ahead, though, there's even more awesome features planned, like professions which will give your character different stat bonuses and "other unique things" depending on whatever profession they had prior to the apocalypse. There's also a party system planned, as well as a Team Battle Royale.

Check out the full road map for H1Z1 for June:
