Once Human's largest free expansion yet, Isles of Abyss, is launching on PlayStation 5 tomorrow, October 22. The expansion plunges the game's survival world into uncharted waters, introducing five brand-new oceanic regions and brand-new threats. The entire ocean is a massive, conscious entity known as 'The Sunken Lord', with the water surface being its physical body and eerie lighthouses and ghost ships acting as its manifestations.
Players will need to brave dynamic regional threats, defeat regional bosses, and ultimately confront the Sunken Lord itself to untangle the secrets of this world. To survive, players can build, customize, and upgrade their vessel into a fully functional, mobile Sea Fortress, with complete freedom to design their ship. Players can team up with friends to form entire player fleets, coordinating their ship designs to tackle different hazards together.
The expansion introduces a seamless, mutually feeding progression loop between land and sea, with resources gathered from exploring mysterious islands fueling naval tech and heavy weaponry, and venturing into the deep sea unlocking specialized materials that enhance terrestrial gear and base progression.
