If you’ve been waiting for a fresh reason to dive back into Once Human, this is it. The Wonder Dawn 2.0 update, dropping on July 3, marks the game’s first anniversary with a massive new feature — a full-blown class system. Yes…., that is true. No more universally accessible survivors. Now is the time to pick a role and be proud of who you are.
The first three classes? Chef, Gardener, and Beastmaster. Each one brings a core ability that fundamentally changes how you play, plus three unique talents to define your role even further. It’s more than just a gimmick — this update redefines how you interact with the world, your teammates, and your enemies.
Let’s talk chefs. Forget crafting meals from static recipes. This class lets you combine ingredients freely to create wild, dynamic dishes — complete with powerful, stackable effects. Chefs break the mold of survival cooking, giving food a new role in combat and exploration.
Then there’s the Gardener — and trust me, it’s not what you think. These folks carry around biomechanical plants that grow, bear fruit, and even fight for you. Picture a mobile greenhouse that doubles as your bodyguard. Whether you’re defending your base or just want extra tactical support, this class is a game-changer.
And finally, Beastmasters. These players can summon animal companions during exploration. Using a special whistle, you can choose which of the three wild creatures to tame and call your own. Each creature adds unique strengths to your journey — whether it’s scouting, protection, or combat support.
We’ll be digging deeper into each class in dedicated guides soon, but for now — start thinking about who you want to become when Wonder Dawn 2.0 lands.
Curious about how these new classes might shake up the meta? Got thoughts on which one you’ll try first? Ahhhhhh, don’t forget about the Once Human codes for the game. Let’s talk about it in the comments — we’d love to hear your take.
