If you’re playing Once Human, then you’re going to be well aware of server wipes. Every now and again, developers Starry Studio need to perform a server wipe, and while this will eliminate all the progress you’ve already made, it’s done to make sure there’s always fresh content for you to check out in-game.

So if you’re curious about when the next server wipe is so you can make sure you’re prepared, we’ve got all the info about when you can expect the next one to occur, as well as what exactly it entails.

Next Once Human server wipe

We are expecting the next Once Human server wipe to occur some point after Tuesday, August 20 2024. This marks entering stage 6 of the scenario, which gives players the hardest challenges of that PvE or PvP season. After that, there is a buffer zone of content for players to participate in before the next season takes place. That being said, there’s always a chance that the new season could start a few days on either side of this date, so take it with a pinch of salt. All we know is that the typical season last six weeks. Check your in-game server for the phases and see how far your server is progressed compared to the next season’s scenario schedule to get an idea of when your server is likely to go down.

It’s been confirmed that server wipes are not only used as a means of adding new content into the game to deliver fresh experiences but it’s also used as a way to conduct maintenance on the servers. As we’re so early in the game’s cycle, there might be a bit more maintenance to do, pushing the date back a little.

What happens in a server wipe in Once Human?

Essentially, a server wipe will delete all of the progress you made during the current season of Once Human. This means your character, most items, and everything you’ve crafted or built in the game will be completely erased. You will keep all of the stuff you had in your base and character, such as ammo, guns, armour, deviations, calibration blueprints, energy links and other currencies. You won’t keep your character, character level, or any specific scenario-based items as those will no longer be viable.

You can save some of your items by sending them to Eternaland. This can be done by spending Material Points, and will let you keep your items in a special ‘home world’. Material Points refresh every season, so don’t be afraid to use them to save your most treasured possessions.
