Once Human: RaidZone and Endless Dream - New Gaming Experiences Are Finally Here!

Once Human just launched two new gaming experiences in Early Access. Endless Dream is a PvE scenario with a complete map and Dream Zones where you fight against nightmares and decide the world's fate. Once Human: RaidZone is a hardcore PvP spin-off with ruthless survival gameplay where everyone starts on equal footing. Endless Dream is already available from May 23, 2025, while RaidZone will launch later.

Endless Dream - It's Here Now! 🌟

Starry Studio just launched Endless Dream - a revolutionary PvE scenario available from May 23, 2025. If the apocalypse descends in a dream, would you be prepared to face it?

What makes Endless Dream so special? It's a completely new gaming experience with unique mechanics where your decisions truly affect the fate of the entire world. Each Dream Zone has its own rules, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

Key Features of Endless Dream:

1. Full Map Access from the Start 🗺️

✓ All regions accessible in Phase I
✓ Complete Nalcott - from southern Broken Delta to northern Ember Strand
✓ Immediate exploration without gradual unlocking

2. Dream Zones - Heart of New Mechanics 💭

Dream Zones are nested layers that gradually take over the wilderness:

Dream Zone Characteristics:

✓ Unique environmental traits in each zone
✓ Special combat effects affecting gameplay
✓ Stacking effects - the deeper you go, the stronger the effects
✓ Construction without Territory Terminal - you can build anywhere in Dream Zones

Types of Nightmare Tubes:

💡 Pro tip: Nightmare Tubes affect each other - Light Tubes provide buffs to Deep and Oneiric Tubes within range. Plan your progression strategically!

3. Player-Driven Progress and Multiple Endings 🎭

Endless Dream offers a unique system where:

✓ Dream Zones and Deviants evolve with scenario progression
✓ Eliminating Eternal Dreamers shortens Phases I-V
✓ Collective efforts decide the world's fate
✓ Multiple possible endings - will the world be saved or destroyed?

Wakeful Sand and Reality Fragments:

• Wakeful Sand obtained by defeating Deviants, gathering materials, or from Wakeful Clocks
• Reality Fragments from defeated Nightmare Kin can be used for:
  • Crafting special bullets and tools
  • Trading with NPCs for important items
  • Reality Resetol - extends survival time in Dream Zones from 15 minutes
