Once Human has just released a substantial update enabling players to create Custom Servers with unique game rules. Additionally, Once Human announced the Global Annual Version 2.0 Showcase, where players can expect details on upcoming features and content.

Once Human debuted in July 2024, quickly gaining popularity by reaching over 230,000 concurrent players on Steam. The game is notable for its engaging gameplay, horror-themed environment, and user-friendly base-building mechanics. It has maintained player interest with frequent updates that enhance the game experience. A highly anticipated feature added in April was dog companions, allowing players to have animal allies in their adventures.

The recent Custom Servers launch adds to the extensive list of features in Once Human and sets the stage for the upcoming Global Annual Version 2.0 Showcase scheduled for July 2, 2025. These official private servers allow players to tailor their gaming experience to their preferences, ranging from relaxed building environments to intense survival challenges. According to the developer, server owners can modify a variety of game settings including weather effects, day-night cycles, character stats, experience gain, item respawn rates, and building difficulty. Players can choose existing PvE or PvP game modes or invent their own custom scenarios. Future updates are expected to introduce mod support and exclusive game modes, providing even more opportunities for gameplay personalization.

Custom Servers Introduced

Custom Servers operate on a secure, dedicated infrastructure, ensuring player data remains stable and safe. Each server is equipped with a dedicated management panel granting creators full control over server settings and player permissions. Players can join these servers using unique invitation codes, or opt for publicly accessible servers that welcome all.

Subscriptions for Once Human’s Custom Servers, available through the in-game store, will vary based on server capacity and duration.

The upcoming Showcase will also unveil Once Human’s updated roadmap, featuring the closely watched debut of a new Scenario alongside details for the new PvP spin-off, Once Human: Raidzone, which is currently open for pre-registrations ahead of its July launch. Meanwhile, pre-registration for the game’s Annual Version 2.0 is now available, offering exclusive rewards such as a Graffiti T-Shirt cosmetic, an Annual Version 2.0 Avatar, Butterfly’s Emissary Crates, and Starchrom for early supporters.
