Once Human prepares Gravity Abyss and anticipates a new threat with the arrival of Riftwalker to Nalcott

The world of Once Human is about to enter another phase of chaos. Starry Studio has revealed the teaser for Visional Wheel S4: Gravity Abyss, the game's next major chapter, while also confirming a warning that has already sparked widespread speculation across the community:

Riftwalker is approaching Nalcott.

The message is brief, but the tone makes it clear that the upcoming season won't just focus on additional content or rewards. Everything points toward an expansion defined by anomalies, environmental distortions, and a threat capable of shifting the very balance of the world.

The Gravity Abyss update is set to launch on May 27th, reviving one of the most recurring concepts in Once Human: impossible phenomena that progressively warp reality

The season's name itself seems to reinforce this.

"Gravity Abyss" suggests distortion, collapse, and forces far beyond human control. In a universe where mutations, unknown entities, and supernatural events are a constant part of survival, altering something as fundamental as gravity opens up a wealth of narrative and gameplay possibilities.

The biggest mystery, however, revolves around theRiftwalker

For now, Starry Studio has provided scarce concrete information, limiting itself to presenting its arrival as an imminent threat to Nalcott, one of the game world's central zones. This lack of details has immediately triggered player theories: a new hostile entity, a seasonal boss, a dimensional phenomenon, or perhaps even a global event with a lasting impact.

When it comes to Once Human, no option can be ruled out.

Furthermore, the Visional Wheel series typically serves as a framework to introduce phases with their own distinct identity, temporary mechanics, and significant changes to the overall experience. Because of this, the fourth season could bring much more than just environmental storytelling.

Following the teaser's extremely apocalyptic tone, the community is already anticipating map alterations, new creatures, or systems tied to gravitational anomalies.

There is also keen interest in how the season will affect progression, base building, and survival—core pillars of the game.

The announcement deliberately maintains an air of mystery, a common practice for Once Human, where many threats are first introduced as strange concepts before revealing their true impact weeks later.

With Visional Wheel S4: Gravity Abyss, the game once again leans into one of its greatest strengths: turning uncertainty and cosmic horror into the primary driver of anticipation.

And if the promotional message is as literal as it sounds, Nalcott might be about to face something far worse than just another anomaly. Because this time, it's not a storm or a mutation on the way... the Riftwalker is coming.
