Endless Dream: A Nightmare Experience
The Endless Dream is a Nightmare-themed world filled with bizarre, psychedelic elements, such as CRT TVs and abandoned amusement parks. This haunted environment challenges players with supernatural hazards and introduces the new Confusion mechanic, adding psychological elements to survival gameplay.
Players must face powerful new Deviants including Agony, a humanoid/transformer hybrid that emits electricity; Misery, a statue with flowers growing within its body that attacks by detonating itself; and Naivety, an adorable teddy bear with a haunted TV in its belly. These creative enemy designs showcase NetEase’s commitment to innovative creature concepts.
Console Ports & PvP Spin-Off
Gaming enthusiasts have exciting developments to look forward to. Once Human is set to launch in 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X, with the ports nearing completion. This console expansion will bring the survival experience to millions of new players.
The PvP-focused spin-off, Once Human: RaidZone is set to launch on July 30 and it’s all about combat. This competitive variant strips away the PvE elements, focusing purely on player-versus-player survival where players start with nothing and must gather weapons and building materials from the land.
Why This Update Matters
Once Human 2.0 represents a significant evolution in the survival genre, combining psychological horror with traditional survival mechanics. The unrestricted building system and multiple endings provide unprecedented player agency, while the upcoming console ports will expand the game’s reach significantly.
