NetEase's post-apocalyptic shooter, Once Human, is gearing up for its first cross-play test, signaling the approach of its much-anticipated mobile launch in April. This closed beta not only gives players a taste of the game but also an early look at how cross-progression will work across different devices.
In Once Human, players navigate a world shattered by a supernatural apocalypse. The gameplay revolves around uniting with other survivors to rebuild society and combat the monstrous entities that now dominate the landscape. However, the game also introduces the challenge of dealing with potential threats from other players, adding a layer of strategic depth to the survival experience.
The allure of Once Human lies in its combination of stunning visuals and a horror-infused action-packed gameplay. Previous beta tests have been well-received, but the introduction of cross-progression is poised to be a game-changer, enhancing the experience for players who will soon enjoy seamless transitions between devices.
More human than humanThe cross-play test is scheduled to run until March 30th, and sign-ups are still open for those eager to dive in. While Once Human may not have captured the PC gaming community as much as NetEase's Marvel Rivals, it's clear that the mobile gaming audience, for whom this stylish shooter seems perfectly tailored, won't have to wait long to join the fray.
