Starry Studios and NetEase Games just dropped a new trailer for Once Human, their upcoming supernatural survival game. The game will soon be rolling out its closed beta test. If you haven’t heard about this game yet, let us give you a quick lowdown on Once Human CBT!
The Once Human closed beta test kicks off on April 4th, 2024, in Asia, and April 3rd for those of you in North America. It’s pegged to run for around 42 days for both PC and mobile players. The latest trailer gives us a peek at teams diving into a world that doesn’t hold back on the mystery and danger. It also hints at some cool features like Deviant gameplay.
The trailer spotlights a bunch of wild new monsters, including one with a drill bit for a head that’s just begging for a battle.

Meanwhile, take a peek at their latest trailer below!
Once Human was actually named Project EOE first. It was announced in 2021, and since then has rolled out some testing runs for players all over the world. It’s set in a dystopian world where monsters named Aberrants are out to trash what’s left of humanity.
You and your team will need to bust out the firearms and some wild supernatural powers to stand a chance against the Aberrants. You’ll also get to explore Eternaland, a customizable world where you can go full builder mode with different structures, roam around and solve some puzzles.
