Once Human has recently introduced a significant update, enabling players to create Custom Servers with personalized game rules. Additionally, the game team has announced the Global Annual Version 2.0 Showcase, which will provide insights into upcoming content and features. Launching in July 2024, Once Human gained immense popularity, boasting over 230,000 concurrent players on Steam. The game distinguishes itself with an engaging mix of enjoyable gameplay, a horror-inspired atmosphere, and a straightforward base-building system.
Continuous updates have kept the game relevant and exciting. For instance, in April, the developers added dog companions, a feature that resonated well with players seeking animal allies. The new Custom Servers allow players to create varying scenarios with unique rules, themes, gameplay mechanics, and win conditions. With the ability to customize many parameters such as weather patterns, day-night cycles, character attributes, and resource respawn rates, players can tailor their experiences.
They can choose from existing Once Human PvE or PvP modes or even design their own game setups. Future plans include mod support and exclusive custom scenarios to enhance personalization. Custom Servers are hosted on a secure, dedicated system, ensuring player data remains safe and stable. Each server features a Dedicated Server Management Panel that gives creators full control over server management and player permissions.
Server access is available through unique invitation codes for private servers, while open servers allow anyone to join. Subscriptions for these Custom Servers can be purchased through the in-game store, with pricing depending on server size and duration. At the upcoming Showcase, fans can look forward to updates on Once Human’s roadmap, including the debut of a new Scenario and details about the PvP spin-off, Once Human: Raidzone, which is accepting pre-registrations ahead of its July launch. Pre-registration for the Annual Version 2.0 is also open, offering exclusive rewards for early sign-ups.
