One of the highlights of a new PvP gameplay scenario which features confrontations between the Mayflies and Rosetta. Then there's also a new PvE scenario that offers a new northern mountain region. Players can also look forward to fighting new monsters and taking on new challenges.

This is but the first of many updates that the studio is planning to release over time. Each update is planned to offer high quality only gaming experience for everyone.

A Strong Start

Once Human was released back on July 9 and immediately gained popularity with players. The post-apocalyptic open-world survival game offered a rather unique and weird art style and combined it with solid gameplay mechanics. Thus it's not surprising to know that it had more than 230,000 concurrent players during the first week of launch. In addition, it also secured the fifth spot in the Most Played chart on Steam along with getting seventh place in Top Sellers. The official Discord community also exceed 500,000 members after launch.

Surviving the Apocalypse

The game is set during an apocalypse that changed everything. Everything on the planet have been infested by an alien creature known as Stardust. As a Meta-Human, you have the ability to survive the contamination and make use of the power of Stardust.

Anyway, you wake up in the middle of nowhere and now have to prepare and face the cruelty of nature, which include lack of food and all the way to monsters. Making things worse is that the influence of the Stardust is not limited to living things. It can also affect the soil and water. What this means is that when you eat polluted food or drink dirty water, your Sanity is reduced. Once Sanity drops, the max HP drops accordingly.

As you make your way across the wasteland, you'll need to fight against different enemies that were once human. Then there are the challenge bosses from another dimension which when defeat allow you to gain powerful items and ease Stardust pollution. The good news is that you won't be going to battle empty-handed. There are around 100 gun blueprints that's divided into seven categories for you to collect and then craft. Remember that each loot gives you something new. Thus, if you don't like the current weapon you have, you can add different parts and eve upgrade the firearm.
