First Person Mode & New Survival Scenario \[Isles of the Abyss] Pioneer Test is About to Begin

With this update, we will launch the Pioneer test for First Person mode and the new survival scenario, \[Isles of the Abyss]. Metas who signed up through the earlier recruitment can switch into the Pioneer test via the button in the top-left corner after the test begins.

First Person Mode Pioneer Confidential Test

This test will reintroduce you to the apocalypse from a First Person perspective—gripping weapons with your own hands, facing melee threats, exploring supplies and unknown regions, and feeling the immersive oppression closer to the battlefield itself.

Test Duration: June 10, 21:00 (PT), expected to last 7 days.

Available scenarios: For this test, First Person mode will be available in the Manibus and Endless Dream scenarios, giving you a chance to experience the apocalypse from a very different point of view.

First Person Preview - See Once Human from a New Perspective

What will feel different in the First Person mode? Here is an early look:

1. Feel every shot in your own hands.

Shooting is no longer just watching your character fire a weapon. You aim, shoot, and reload from your own point of view. Every action feels closer to your eyes and closer to the fight.

2. Combat feels more intense.

Enemies can appear at the edge of your vision, and bullets can fly right past you. In first person, combat pacing, distance judgment, and spatial awareness all feel different from third person.

3. Exploration feels more immersive.

Move through the vast landscapes of Manibus and the dreamlike light and shadow of Endless Dream in first person as you explore and gather supplies. Even familiar places will feel new again.

4. Survival Items feel more immersive.

In the First Person mode, even familiar survival actions like eating, using consumables, or throwing items at a target feel more immersive.

5. More comprehensive combat preparation experience.

To allow Metas to freely equip and participate in combat in the test environment, we will additionally distribute initial Supplies, Gear Blueprints, and Gear Mods to ensure Metas can efficiently participate in various mode content during the testing process.

After the First Person mode is launched, you can switch to your preferred perspective at any time during the game.

 

Second Pioneer Confidential Test for the New Survival Scenario \[Isles of the Abyss]

This ocean world full of mystery and adventure awaits Pioneer Metas to explore and share feedback. We welcome you to join!

Test Duration: June 17, 18:00 (PT), expected to last for 20 days.

This scenario will present Metas with a brand-new maritime survival challenge, featuring the complete Isles of the Abyss map. You will need to explore a cluster of scattered islands, gather resources amidst dynamic weather and day-night cycles, build facilities, and confront threats from the environment and mysterious enemies.

This test is the second Pioneer Test, aiming to validate the core game mode loop, system stability, and story pacing in the early stages of the scenario. We highly value your feedback, which will be used to fine-tune subsequent versions, bringing a better experience to Metas.

 

\[RaidZone] Team Function Fully Upgraded

To Let Metas have more seamless cooperation during RaidZone exploration, we have optimized the squad cooperate system.
