The update expands Once Human from land survival into naval construction and underwater resource gathering across five sea regions, with cross-play and cross-progression carrying player data between platforms.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
NetEase Games and Starry Studio released the Ocean Chapter major update Forbidden Island for Once Human on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Android, iOS, and PC on October 22. The update adds a sea setting guarded by an ancient being called the King of the Sea Ruins, ship construction ranging from small boats to the giant mobile sea base Sea Fortress, underwater diving for treasures and resources, and five sea regions.
Ship construction is the center of the update. Players build vessels from small, highly mobile boats up to the Sea Fortress, a giant mobile sea base. The sea itself is not open water: an ancient being called the King of the Sea Ruins guards the crossing and blocks passage.
Below the surface, the mysterious islands hold sleeping treasures and underwater resources, so survival play draws on both land and sea materials. Five sea regions with distinct characteristics are live from launch day. Cross-play and cross-progression are supported, and players can carry their data to different hardware.
