Once Human - Strange worlds survival game

To welcome the upcoming console version and give newly joined Metas a better experience on scenario servers, we are announcing the server opening details and launch plan.

All times below are server times for the corresponding regions. The exact times are subject to what is indicated in the table.

I. A Quick Guide to Once Human's Scenario Structure and Server Rules

Once Human features many scenarios. Each scenario is a different world, with its own rules and gameplay content. Under each scenario, there are many servers to choose from.

1. A Quick Look at the Experience Flow and Scenario Selection

2. Scenario Introductions and Server Rules

When selecting a server, Metas can choose between cross-platform servers and console exclusive servers. Cross-Platform servers can be accessed from any device and have no special tags in their names. Console Exclusive servers are servers with the "Console" tag in their names and can only be played on console devices.

Console players can select and enter Console Exclusive servers via Scenario Selection > More Servers > Console-Exclusive Server.

II. Console Server Opening Rules

1. Once Human Server Launch Schedule

After new Metas complete the tutorial, they will need to choose a scenario and server to join. We have prepared plenty of servers for console players to choose from.

First Batch Server Launch Schedule for North America:

First Batch Server Launch Schedule for Europe:

First Batch Server Launch Schedule for South America, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, HK & MO & TW:

Note:

1) Once Human is now available on PC and mobile, so some servers are already open. Most open servers are still accessible, but since server progress and player development may differ, it is recommended that new players prioritize the latest servers in the recommended list.

2) For the first batch of scenarios where servers have not yet been opened, new servers will be opened in due course based on the capacity of existing servers.

2. Once Human: RaidZone Server Launch Plan

RaidZone features different character combat abilities, resource distribution, and acquisition methods compared to the regular Once Human mode. Everything is built around a free, open, and fair PvP experience, providing a more exhilarating combat experience.

To ensure Metas playing on console devices have a fairer competitive experience in RaidZone, the dev team will also open console-exclusive servers. The specific opening plan is as follows:

North America and Europe will each open one console-exclusive server in each of the casual, standard, and hardcore modes. The specific plan is as follows:

South America, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and HK & MO & TW will each open 1 console-exclusive server in casual mode, with the specific plan as follows:

Note:

1) In RaidZone, console-exclusive servers can be selected from the server list under the corresponding mode.

2) We've also prepared cross-platform servers for Metas, which can be selected from the server list of the corresponding mode.

3) Based on server capacity, we'll also open additional servers as appropriate.

3. Synchronized Adjustment of the Sign-up Server Opening Schedule

After completing their first scenario, Metas can choose to continue experiencing other scenarios. By signing up for upcoming new servers, they are guaranteed entry to the corresponding server.

With the launch of the console version, the number of in-game players will further increase. To ensure the gaming experience for players on all platforms, we are optimizing the server opening schedule. Starting August 26, 2026, the opening schedule for sign-up servers and related rules will be adjusted as follows:

Server Launch Schedule for North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia:

Launch Schedule for South America, Japan, South Korea, and HK & MO & TW servers:

Note:

1) The sign-up channel will close 24 hours before the server opens. After it closes, you can only sign up once the server is open, or choose to sign up for the next server opening.

2) The exact number of servers to open will be determined by the number of Metas who sign up. The more sign-ups, the more servers will be opened, with at least 1 server opening each time.

3) Based on server capacity, the official team will add more servers as appropriate (without a sign-up channel) and promptly notify Metas via announcements.

4. Server Closure Notice for Once Human: RaidZone

As the limited-time event RaidFest comes to an end, the related limited-time event servers will not be reopened after closing. The list is as follows:

Going forward, we may further adjust this system based on server performance and player feedback. Please keep an eye on official announcements for future updates. Final details are subject to the live version.
