There’s already lots of weird and wild things forOnce Human players to survive in the landlocked maps of its world, but what if there werealso things to worry about across the open seas? That’s just what the multiplayer shooter survivalbox is planning when it releases its massive Isles of Abyss update on Thursday, October 22nd.
Described by Netease’s Starry Studio as the game’s largest free update since its initial 2024 launch, Isles of Abyss will add “a vast, uncanny ocean” that also happens to be an enormous and awakening living entity known as the Sunken Lord. What this means in gameplay terms is that the five distinct sea regions being added will feature lots of traps and unique threats like living islands and predatory lighthouses. Just to name a couple.
Of course, crossing this dangerous ocean is going to require a boat, and that’s just what Isles of Abyss will let players put together, crafting, customizing, and upgrading their sailing vessels from nimble skiffs to massive warships. There will also be plenty of survival gameplay on land and sea as players explore islands and dive underwater for treasures and resources. Last but not least, the new update will officially launch crossplay among PC, console, and mobile players. There looks to be a lot going on, in other words; you can check out the trailer below to get a look.
