  • NetEase and Starry Studio's survival shooter Once Human is set to arrive on mobile
  • And it's launching next month as Once Human launches April 23rd!
  • Enjoy all the content PC players do, as well as cross-character sharing and more

When it comes to upcoming mobile launches, I think few have been as intriguing as NetEase and Starry Studio's upcoming paranormal open-world survival shooter Once Human. Set in a post-apocalyptic future of bizarre creatures and phenomena, it's even made a splash with the usually highly demanding PC audience.

But now, come April 23rd, fans on mobile will finally be able to get their hands on Once Human proper! NetEase has confirmed that all current content for Once Human on desktop will also arrive with the mobile launch, while a special pre-registration event offers a prize draw for participating players.

Yet it's not just the launch that prospective players should be looking forward to. The new cross-character sharing feature, for example, goes live on March 27th and allows player characters to pool their resources; including the use of blueprints, mods, weapon accessories and even cosmetics.

Blowout soon

Initially, I was somewhat sceptical about NetEase launching Once Human on PC before mobile. Especially considering that players on PC can often be a bit more critical of certain aspects mobile players are comfortable with. But Once Human has received quite strong reviews even from the usually sceptical PC crowd, which I reckon only further heightens the anticipation for its arrival on mobile.

And with a ton of in-game events taking place, such as Lunar Oracle Phase Three that launched on the 13th, we can expect even more to arrive as Once Human finally hits mobile. 

Meanwhile, if you need something to occupy your time while you wait for Once Human to arrive on mobile next month, why not take some time to go Off the AppStore? Our regular weekly feature offers you the latest releases that you can't find on the iOS App Store or on Google Play!
