Once Human 2.0 Is Out Now: Console Ports and PvP Spin-Off Incoming

NetEase Games has unveiled exciting updates for Once Human during their Global Annual Showcase, bringing major enhancements that players are sure to love. The big reveal? Version 2.0 of the game is now live, and players can claim 11 free Lightforge Ingots by completing new events and challenges.

This is just the beginning, though. There are plenty of in-game activities to keep you busy, like playing the Dreamland Wonder mini-games, rescuing the giant Chefosaurus Rex, and checking in daily for even more rewards.

One of the most exciting new additions is the Endless Dream PvE scenario. This new, Nightmare-themed world features bizarre, psychedelic elements-think CRT TVs and abandoned amusement parks. It’s a strange, haunted world filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. The entire world map is open from the start in Endless Dream, divided into Dream Zones and Nightmare Areas. As players venture deeper into this surreal world, they will face supernatural environmental hazards and a new challenge called the Confusion mechanic. Surviving the Endless Dream isn’t easy, though, as players will also need to face guardians like Light Dreamers, Deep Dreamers, and the most lethal of them all, Eternal Dreamers.

New Deviants are making their debut in this update, including Agony, a humanoid transformer hybrid that emits electricity, Misery, a statue that grows flowers and attacks by self-destructing, and Naivety, an eerie teddy bear with a haunted TV in its belly. The best part? Players have the ability to shape the land in Endless Dream, building both offensive and defensive structures without any territorial restrictions. As they explore and conquer nightmares, players unlock additional traits and influence the story’s outcome, with a real-time, five-stage dynamic progression leading to multiple possible endings.

But that’s not all-NetEase also shared exciting news about console ports and a new spin-off. Console players won’t have to wait long: Once Human is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X in 2026, with the ports nearing completion. As for the spin-off, the PvP-focused Once Human: RaidZone is launching on July 30, and it’s all about combat. Players start with nothing, scavenging for weapons and materials while forming temporary alliances with others. But beware-those alliances won’t last forever, and you’ll need to be ready to turn on your fellow players when the time comes. The entire map in RaidZone is unrestricted, with players free to attack each other’s bases at any time. The Deviation Powers from the base game have also been reworked, making for a more intense PvP experience where you can unleash devastating powers on your enemies.
