If you were let down by Fntastic's game "The Day Before", you're not alone. The developers surprisingly ended support after just 4 days, leaving many shocked.

However, when something fades away, something new emerges, and "Once Human" could be the post-apocalyptic survival game you've been waiting for. Trusting a new studio might be tough, but I assure you, this game shows promise, and you can join the beta for free!

Let's break down what kind of game Once Human is!

Once Human is currently in development at Starry Studio and NetEase, with a planned release in late 2024 for PC via Steam. However, you can already participate in the open beta by visiting their website. The only drawback at the moment is that instead of directly joining the beta, you now have to wait for the developers to send you a beta access key.

The increased demand for beta access has prompted the developers to enhance server capacities, which is ultimately a positive sign. To sign up for the beta, simply visit the website, click on the "Sign up for Beta" button, provide your email address, and you're all set to go.

What is so special about Once Human?

Once Human is a thrilling survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Join forces with fellow players to tackle both PvE and PvP battles against monsters and other survivors. Step into the shoes of your character called "Meta", navigating a perilous landscape filled with horrifying creatures made of an alien substance known as "Stardust."

Your mission is to stand together with allies and confront these supernatural monsters, all while contending with other players. In addition to intense combat, you can build your own base, gather resources, explore the environment, engage in hunting and fishing, discover anomalies, and more.
