After an eagerly awaited period, NetEase's *Once Human* has now launched on mobile platforms, available for both iOS and Android users starting today. Initially released for PC, the mobile version of *Once Human* has been highly anticipated, and now you can dive into an immersive world filled with shooting and supernatural phenomena.

In *Once Human*, you step into the shoes of a Transcendent, one of the few survivors on the ravaged continent of Nekot after apocalyptic supernatural events. Instead of relying on traditional swords and sorcery, you'll be equipped with modern weaponry, including a wide array of guns and gadgets.

One of the most striking features of *Once Human* is its vast open world, which spans an impressive 256 square kilometers. This expansive environment offers diverse biomes and locations for you to explore. Engage in various activities like fishing and farming, while facing both PvE and PvP challenges, depending on your preference.

**More human than human**

*Once Human* blends a flashy near-future aesthetic with extensive gameplay mechanics, which is likely why its release has been so eagerly awaited. The game has also received a relatively positive reception from demanding PC players, making it a must-try for mobile gamers as well.

The game's detailed weapon customization system is a highlight, appealing to weapon enthusiasts who crave depth and variety. *Once Human* targets players looking for a grittier experience, yet it remains enjoyable whether you're teaming up with friends to establish a base or building your dream apocalypse home solo.
