PUBG and Fortnite Push H1Z1 Player Count Way Down
H1Z1: King of the Hill's player base of the game has plummeted by 91 percent since July 2017.
H1Z1's battle royale mode popularised the genre, but with the release of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Fortnite's battle royale mode, the title has struggled to retain players, with GiyHyp reporting the drastic drop in players over the last seven months.
The game's popular King of the Hill mode - available to buy separately alongside the Just Survive mode - managed to make the title the third most-played game on Steam during its heyday, peaking at 150,000 players with an average of 86,000 people playing per hour.

Avengers #1 Spearheads Marvel Comics’ Next Relaunch
Marvel Comics will be kicking off a relaunch of almost their entire superhero comic book line this May, with a new Avengers series by writer Jason Aaron and artist Ed McGuinness acting as the flagship title.
Check out the cover to Avengers #1 and some interior pages by clicking through the slideshow gallery below.
Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort wants the Avengers -- and the rest of Marvel’s new comics -- to get off to a fresh start, and nothing does that better than a new #1. This means that the return to legacy numbering done as part of last year’s Marvel Legacy relaunch will be going away. Brevoort did express an interest in keeping the legacy numbering around in subordinate fashion for select titles, but ultimately he favors keeping things as clear and unconfusing as possible for readers.

Get Out Director’s New Movie to Begin Shooting This Year
Jordan Peele, director of Get Out, will begin shooting his as-yet-unrevealed second film this year.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Peele said: “I am currently writing it, and I'll direct for Universal this year. I’m just trying to entertain myself again.”
Peele has previously said that he has multiple ideas for "socially conscious" horror films, and it sounds as though his follow-up will be one of them, but won't tackle the same issues:
"Playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun, genre of intrigue is my favorite", he explained. "That's my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one."
Every Team in the MCU
The key to any successful mega-franchise is teamwork, and with Marvel posting that epic class photo celebrating 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe recently, we've decided to post an official wrangling of all the separate teams that comprise the MCU - in both TV and film.
Yup, we've got all the MCU teams for you here, down in the slideshow below. Unfortunately, even though Marvel is actively co-producing a couple of TV shows with Fox right now, there's no X-verse here. Feel free to give the Summerland gang over at Legion and the Mutant Underground on The Gifted a big hug for us though.
