Once Human
A free-to-play open-world survival MMO from Starry Studio, published with NetEase Games. Set in a strange, post-apocalyptic "Strange World", you fight monstrous enemies, gather and craft, compete for resources, and build your own territory in a shared online world.
What is Once Human?
Once Human drops you into a contaminated post-apocalyptic world affected by Stardust — a substance that mutates creatures and poisons the land. Surviving means managing food and clean water, keeping your Sanity up, crafting gear, and building a defensible base. The twist is that the whole world is a living multiplayer server, so other players are building, fighting and competing right alongside you.
The core loop is familiar to survival fans: explore, gather, craft, build, and fight. But it is a live-service MMO, so content, seasons and the shared map are what set it apart from a purely single-player survival game.
Co-op and PvP
- Play with friends: team up and tackle world bosses, dungeons and resource runs together in online co-op.
- Shared world: it is a full MMO — you share the map, events and economy with other players, not just your party.
- PvP: expect player-versus-player territory and resource competition as you progress into the endgame.
- Territory building: claim a spot, construct your base and fortify it against monsters and other players.
