Once Human is a new free-to-play survival game that launched on July 9, and the game immediately received backlash for a limitation with character creation. The developer has since responded and implemented a change to make the player experience more enjoyable.

At launch, players were only allowed to create one character in Once Human. The game doesn't allow characters to be deleted, so players were upset to find themselves committed to only one character and asked for the option to be able to create multiple characters to use across different servers.

The developer has since responded to this player feedback by opening up the functionality for multiple-character creation. The announcement also includes an apology for the initial decision to limit character creation at launch, saying it unfortunately led to a "poor gaming experience."

It's worth noting that the option for multiple-character creation was originally scheduled to release in August, as the dev team was still working to further improve the feature. While this function is now available, players are still unable to delete their characters.

Once Human is available to play on PC, iOS, and Android. The game features cross-play and cross-progression, but there are some limitations.
