NetEase's Once Human has captured a significant audience on both mobile and PC platforms, and now, in a swift move, they are expanding the franchise with a new spin-off titled Once Human: RaidZone. This upcoming release is set to enter early access soon, focusing exclusively on PvP survival battles.
Once Human: RaidZone isn't a completely new game but rather a sub-brand built on the foundation of the original Once Human. It retains the core survival elements but shifts the focus entirely to player-versus-player action. Players will engage in Rust-inspired combat, gathering resources and constructing defenses, ranging from simple wooden huts to robust concrete fortresses. As you progress, you'll upgrade your arsenal from basic crossbows to powerful assault rifles.
While Once Human: RaidZone promises an exciting PvP experience, it faces challenges in distinguishing itself from the original game. The absence of the supernatural aesthetic that drew many to Once Human might put it at a disadvantage against other survival shooters on mobile platforms. Nevertheless, gamers will have the opportunity to judge for themselves when Once Human: RaidZone launches in early access on May 21st.
