Once Human released an update that improves first-person mode and expands housing customization. The update also launches a Nailoong crossover event running November 5-25.
Why it matters
The changes address movement and building options in the game's first-person view and housing system. The crossover event gives players a time-limited activity tied to the update.
The Nailoong crossover runs November 5-25, and new Isles of Abyss servers open Tuesday and Saturday in North America and Europe. The number of new servers will depend on pre-registration totals, which the update notes have not been finalized.
