Supernatural Survival Gameplay on the Go

Set in a post-apocalyptic world filled with supernatural threats, Once Human challenges players to gather resources, build shelters, and uncover the truth behind a global collapse. Originally launched on PC, the game earned a spot among Steam’s top sellers and attracted hundreds of thousands of players. Now, with over 30 million mobile pre-registrations, the game is available to a global audience on mobile devices.

The mobile version introduces features aimed at making gameplay more accessible, including one-tap resource gathering and combat assistance, while maintaining the depth and structure of the PC version.

Launch Rewards and Customization Options

Players who log in during the launch period can claim rewards that include 16 Legendary blueprints, 11 rare in-game creatures called Deviations, and over 1,000 cosmetic items. These bonuses are designed to help new players get started and add personal flair to their in-game characters.

Join the Ed Stafford Survival Boot Camp

Ed Stafford, known for his real-life survival challenges, is partnering with Once Human to host a global training event. Players can apply to be part of a survival boot camp led by Stafford himself. Six participants will be selected for an in-person experience where they’ll learn real-world survival skills inspired by the game.

Upcoming Content: New Scenario and Features

New content is planned for the second and third quarters of 2025. This includes “Visional Wheel S1” and a PvE scenario called Endless Dream, expected to launch with the game’s anniversary update. The new mode introduces shifting environments, scalable difficulty, and flexible building mechanics that work outside player-owned areas. Progress is tied to in-game achievements, and player choices will shape different outcomes in the story.

Bonuses for Returning Players

Veteran players returning for the mobile launch will be eligible for additional rewards through daily check-ins and team-based activities. These include a special avatar, theme, and exclusive currency to unlock up to ten rewards. Returning users can also join fully populated servers, making it easier to reconnect with friends.
