NetEase's post-apocalyptic shooter, Once Human, initiates its first cross-play beta test. This closed beta allows players to experience the seamless cross-progression functionality slated for the mobile launch in April. The test confirms the ability to effortlessly transition gameplay between devices.
Following the recent success of Marvel Rivals, NetEase's PC release of Once Human, a co-op eldritch shooter, is finally making its way to mobile. The game casts players as survivors in a supernatural apocalypse, tasked with rebuilding society and combating monstrous threats. Even fellow survivors may pose a challenge.
Once Human's blend of stunning visuals and intense run-and-gun gameplay has generated considerable anticipation. While previous beta tests occurred, this cross-progression feature is a significant addition. It's also likely the last chance for hands-on experience before the April release.
A Unique Take on Survival
The beta test runs until March 30th, with registration still open. While Once Human might not have captured a large PC audience compared to NetEase's Marvel Rivals, its stylish gameplay appears perfectly suited for mobile gamers. The upcoming mobile release is excellent news for this demographic.
