Release Date & Time of Once Human

Surviving the Stardust

In Once Human, players assume the role of Meta-Humans individuals resistant to the Stardust contamination. The alien substance has infected every living thing on Earth, creating a perilous environment where survival is paramount. As a Meta-Human, you are humanity’s last hope, battling against both the infected creatures and the environment itself.

Gameplay Mechanics

From the moment you wake up in this hostile world, you are thrust into a series of life-or-death situations. The necessity to consume contaminated resources will challenge your sanity and health, pushing your survival skills to the limit.

Players will also enjoy the freedom to build and manage cities, farm, and engage in multiplayer interactions, all while navigating through a world that changes dynamically between day and night cycles. The game’s sandbox nature allows for extensive creative expression, but beware—nightfall brings out the most dangerous bio-chemical monsters.

Popularity and Anticipation

Once Human has already garnered significant attention, becoming the second-most wishlisted game on Steam, just behind Hollow Knight: Silksong. Its demo during the recent Steam Next Fest was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, earning NetEase the ‘triple crown’ for the most wishlists, most demo players, and biggest trend for upcoming games.

The blend of various gameplay styles and the allure of a richly detailed, dystopian world have set the stage for Once Human to be one of the standout games of the year. With the genre already having a stellar year with titles like Palworld, Enshrouded, and Soulmask, Once Human is poised to make a significant impact upon its release.
