We recently released Isles of Abyss – the largest free expansion in Once Human history – on XBOX Series X|S. Now that players have had taken some time to chart these dangerous waters, we wanted to take this opportunity to pull back the curtain on how this major expansion came together and how we managed to take our signature “New Weird” and strange worlds survival into the open ocean by completely rethinking our world design. We didn’t want the sea to be an empty transit space connecting dry land. We wanted the ocean itself to actively hunt you.
