Once Human unveils PvP spin-off RaidZone

NetEase Announces Once Human: RaidZone – A PvP-Focused Survival Experience

The breakout hit Once Human is getting a bold new direction with Once Human: RaidZone. While the original game captivated players with its supernatural survival elements, this spin-off doubles down on high-stakes player-versus-player combat. NetEase is moving fast – the early access launch is just around the corner!

Rather than reinventing the wheel, RaidZone builds upon Once Human's existing framework. Think of it as a concentrated dose of the game's most intense moments. Players will recognize the core survival mechanics, but now every interaction becomes a potential firefight. The Rust-inspired gameplay loop has you scavenging for resources while constantly watching your back for rival players.

From Makeshift Shelters to Fortified Bases

The progression system promises to be particularly satisfying. Your journey begins with primitive weapons and flimsy wooden structures, gradually unlocking advanced firearms and impenetrable concrete fortifications. That first crossbow kill will feel sweet, but wait until you're mowing down opponents with military-grade rifles!

The Double-Edged Sword of Specialization

While the focused PvP approach creates intense battles, some fans might miss the original game's distinctive supernatural elements. RaidZone enters a crowded field of mobile survival shooters without Once Human's unique aesthetic. But NetEase seems confident that streamlined, competitive gameplay will find its audience.

Mark your calendars for May 21st – that's when the early access testing begins. Want to see how RaidZone stacks up against the competition? Check out our definitive ranking of the best mobile shooters to see where it might land!
