“New Weird” Survival Game Once Human to be Featured at IGN’s Summer of Gaming

Get a first in-depth look at the upcoming title from NetEase Games

Guangzhou, China, June 10th, 2022 - Having recently been revealed during NetEase Connect 2022, Once Human is an upcoming survival title from NetEase Games in the New Weird genre that features a striking art style and plenty of aberrant monsters to test the players’ mettle. Unleashed after the opening of a mysterious silver door, Stardust has polluted the world, twisting it into a horrific landscape populated by unrelenting and nightmarish creatures.

During IGN’s Summer of Gaming, players will get a first in-depth look at the post-apocalyptic title including an all-new trailer, a behind-the-scenes developer interview, as well as a look at some of the monsters and bosses that players can expect to encounter in the world of Once Human.

In Once Human players are dropped years into the future where a mysterious door has been opened unleashing otherworldly terrors that have catastrophically changed the world and humanity. Players take on the role of “Beyonders”, humans that have been enhanced by Stardust and now boast special abilities. They will need to scavenge for resources while fighting off aberrant monsters as well as keeping an eye out for fellow survivors and protecting the home bases they build. Featuring PvE and PvP gameplay, Once Human gives players the freedom to take on all the horrors that this new world has in store for them.

Features include:

  • A New Weird world and art style that features horrible aberrant monsters and a doomsday setting.
  • Gather resources and build your home base wherever you choose to survive against insurmountable odds.
  • Upgrade weapons, equipment, and vehicles to better take on the chaos and monsters that have taken over the world.
  • Freely explore the world in PvE mode where you take on both the terrifying monsters and the hostile and deadly environment of the world itself.
  • Cooperate with fellow players while defeating enemy strongholds and looting them for resources in PvP mode.

Aspiring Beyonders can check out Once Human at IGN’s Summer of Gaming on June 11th beginning at 11:30 am PDT/2:30 pm EDT.
