NetEase Games, the online games division of NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES, HKEX: 9999), announced today the launch of Once Human’s brand-new PvP scenario, Prismverse’s Clash. In this major update, players can align with different factions and engage in massive Group vs. Group battles. It also features new events, the new Prism Energy mechanism, an update to the Ranching system and in-game rewards.
Prismverse’s Clash brings faction warfare to Once Human
A scenario is the gameplay theme of a server, which means a combination of rules, game modes and gaming content. This concept is created to enrich gaming experiences and provide different choices to players.
Prismverse’s Clash is Once Human’s first new Scenario and it’s focused on PvP. In this Scenario, players must side with either the Rosetta or Mayfly factions as they attempt to capture Prism Deviations and gather Prism Energy, which will decide the victor of the contest.
In the upcoming scenario, players will be able to participate in thrilling and intense massive GVG battles. Within the expansive open world, players can create battle squads to both attack and defend against enemy factions. They can gain an advantage by building territories without any limits and devising strategic squad tactics.
This new scenario will feature shorter scenario lengths, allowing players to acquire resources more efficiently. Additionally, death penalties will be reduced, meaning players will not lose their weapons or equipment if they die in PVP combat. Their territory will also be protected, enabling them to dedicate more time and effort to combat.
The hunt for Prism Energy has begun!
Prismverse’s Clash will feature the biggest and most exciting conflicts in Once Human to date. One of the significant new features in Prismverse’s Clash is Prism Deviations, which can supply you with crucial Prism Energy which decided the final victory. They’re more likely to be encountered during Public Crisis Events, but they can also be acquired while exploring the wilderness and doing activities like gathering resources or fishing.
Throughout Prismverse’s Clash, PvP content will be active in all map areas except for safe zones, which house the faction’s base camps. Outside the safe zones, the two factions will compete to control Prism Deviations, which can involve minor skirmishes with makeshift weapons in the wilderness or Public Crisis Events featuring 30 players clashing for control for the highest-value Deviations.
Prismverse’s Clash will evolve over time, with the Scenario broken into three different stages that progress throughout the event. As time passes, more maps, dungeon challenges, Public Crisis Events, and rare Deviations will become unlocked.
Once Human’s Ranching system update adds breeding mechanic alongside new species
The Prismverse’s Clash Scenario will launch alongside significant updates to Once Human’s Ranching system, which lets players capture animals in the wilderness and raise them in their base.
The September 26 update will add three new animals to the Ranching system: capybaras, flamingos, and leopards. These not only look adorable, but can serve different functions in your base, should you create proper housing for them.
Animal breeding has also been added to the game. Once players construct special facilities in their territory, they can breed baby animals created by combining their parents’ features alongside random fur patterns that can be used to make animals with rare color schemes.
Free Rewards for Returning Players and Brand New Cosmetics
Returning players who log in will receive special gifts by simply log in the game or participating in specific quests. These benefits will only be available for a limited time, so make sure to log in when the event begins to ensure you acquire them. The Prismverse’s Clash event store will also provide supplies to prepare players for the dangerous environment they’re about to enter.
In addition, Once Human’s first four-wheeled vehicle cosmetic Speedy Wings is now available! Drive a dope sports car through the large open world. Put on the Character Fashion Music Frenzy to immerse in the revelry of doomsday! Bar-themed furniture skin Neon Symphony is also now available, allowing players to build their own bar in their territory to relax and recuperate from the battle with friends!
Once Human’s next PVE Scenario, The Way of Winter is on its way
