Once Human Developer Responds To Worries Over Seasonal Resets

In a blog post on the Once Human website, NetEase Games outlined its seasonal plans for the game, explaining that every six weeks, a new season will offer players a “new start” with fresh content and scenarios to tackle with fellow players in different parts of the shared in-game world: While your character level and exploration progress will indeed reset at the start of each season, NetEase assured players that all other progress (like the in-game building system and resource collection) will transfer over: Despite these assurances, players on Once Human’s subreddit were quick to voice concerns about the developer’s seasonal plan, worrying that the game’s player base would plummet if all players’ hard survival work building their bases and gathering materials and loot simply vanishes every six weeks. These concerns are entirely valid based on my experience playing the game thus far. There is definitely a grind involved here, like in most modern online survival games (hell…in most modern games, period), meaning there is a great sense of pride (and time) involved in constructing homes and bases. It’s natural players want some sort of assurance their hard work doesn’t go to waste. Suffice it to say, the outcry caused NetEase Games to double down on their claims that all important progress will transfer over to each new season in Once Human. A deeper explanatory post on Discord lists every aspect of your progress that will carry over, accounting for the crucial things like House Blueprints, currency, main and side story progress, and more. I feel pretty satisfied with NetEase’s explanations here and honestly think that these seasonal updates will be similar to regular battle pass season wipes one experiences in any competitive online FPS nowadays. I do hope that NetEase sticks to its word, though, and fully respects the grinding and time players are putting into Once Human. After all, if you’re going to sign off your blog posts with “Wherever we are, we stand together,” you better hope there’s still an active and dedicated player base standing behind your game.
