'Once Human' Reaches 10 Million Downloads Worldwide, Claims Top Spot On Steam Best Seller Charts, Celebrates With Freebies

Once Human is a sandbox survival game where you, as Meta-Human, need to survive in the harsh environment with swarms of enemies and rebuild the human civilization after the world was changed by the apocalypse.

Aberrant particles stayed dormant in the nether, waiting for the call of the Great One and driving the world into madness; one day, scientists opened a gate … Following a New Weird style, Once Human combines the rationality in science with the mysteries of the unknown. In a precarious world where all common sense is distorted, will humanity fall into the abyss or thrive on adversity?

To survive in the wasteland, humans must unite in groups. With coldblooded research nuts, honest yet simple civilians, violent lunatics, optimistic dreamers and lone wolves, factions are formed. Among these factions, five attract the most attention: Rosetta, Blackfell, Vulture, Guerilla, and Mayfly.

Plant, animal and human infected by Stardust will transform into disfigured monsters called Aberrant. Once polluted by Stardust, the host will be swept along to join the evolution route of Stardust while the winner becomes an advanced organism and the failed ones decay to dust. In early state, Aberrants may not be too aggressive, but as time goes, they will be driven wholly by the desire to evolve and show their cruel nature.

With multiple weapon choices from handgun to submachine gun, players may excel in hardcore battles with their most handy firearm. What's more, your favorite gun actually grows with you! Use gun perk to make a killing machine out of your weapon. Use lethal weapons and unleash destructive skills to fight your way out. Battles can take place almost anywhere in Nalcott. With Aberrant, Rosetta and Vultures rampaging about, you are never short of enemies.

In the Stronghold Contest, Defender and Attacker battle to take control of the Beacon Area in the middle stronghold, and capture progress will accumulate when the area is free of the opposite team. Whoever seizes the area is the winner.

Various landscapes, realistic weather changes, and distinctive features. From desert to forest, Once Human offers a glimpse of the world taken over by nature and otherworldly creatures.

NetEase Games and Starry Studio are excited to announce that Once Human has achieved a remarkable milestone of 10 million downloads worldwide. In addition, it has secured the top spot on the Steam best seller charts in the United States, Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand.

Once Human also witnessed the second spot on the Global Steam best seller charts. This success underscores the game's captivating post-apocalyptic open-world survival experience, and the steadfast support from a global community of players.

The development team of Once Human extends heartfelt gratitude to all players for making this possible. To celebrate this achievement, players can log in before September 15 to claim in-game gifts, including:

  • Butterfly’s Emissary Crate*2
  • 1,000 - Starchrom Crate*2
