The highly anticipated survival sandbox game, *Once Human*, is finally making its way to mobile devices in April 2025! Pre-registration is now open, so don't miss your chance to be among the first to experience this immersive wasteland. While NetEase initially focused on the PC release, Android and iOS users can rejoice—the wait is almost over.
Initially rumored for a January 2025 launch (as indicated on the App Store), the official release date is now confirmed for April 2025. This mobile version boasts optimized gameplay for a smooth experience, even on lower-end hardware, ensuring everyone can join the adventure. The mobile release builds upon the successful closed beta test that ran from November 28th, incorporating valuable player feedback for a polished launch.
NetEase has also revealed exciting plans for the future, including a console release and full cross-platform support. This means players across various devices will soon be able to explore the wasteland together.

Beyond the mobile launch, *Once Human* is set to expand significantly in 2025. Three new scenarios—Code: Purification, Code: Deviation, and Code: Broken—will launch in Q3, each introducing unique challenges and gameplay experiences, from environmental restoration to intense PvP combat.
Furthermore, January 16th brings the Visional Wheel, adding fresh content and strategic depth to existing scenarios. The Lunar Oracle event will test players' resilience as Deviants gain power, and Sanity becomes a crucial resource. And for those seeking greater customization, custom servers are on the horizon, allowing personalized gameplay with friends.
