A new challenge mode, “Stellar Resonance,” for the Once Human’s Visional Wheel – Starfall Inversion was announced during gamescom 2025, on Aug. 21.
Stellar Resonance will revolve around the Gravity Integrator while bringing changes and nuances to the open world and the gameplay in general.
So to ensure everyone is aware of when Stellar Resonance releases and what to expect from it, I am here with this guide.
When does Once Human Stellar Resonance comes out?
Stellar Resonance will go live on Aug. 28 and will end on Sept. 25.
Players will have an entire month to clear the content and the events and collect all the associated rewards.
Once Human Stellar Resonance gameplay explained
In Stellar Resonance, players must first open a Star Advent Loot Crate in a settlement to obtain the Gravity Integrator facility blueprint.
Once that is done, they must craft it at the Intermediate or Advanced Supplies Workbench. Later, you can also craft Enhancement modules for it for various bonuses.
That said, once you have crafted the Gravity Integrator, you must place it during the Starfall Inversion event at least 60m away from any territory or another Gravity Integrator.
Once placed, you must activate it. It can operate for up to 10 minutes in a go and then self-destruct.
When you activate the Gravity Integrator, it ascends while accumulating Stellar Core Gravity Samples, which you can use to unlock tiered rewards.
The higher your Gravity Integrator ascends, the more rewards you get.
However, the whole thing is not as simple as activating and collecting rewards.
Whenever you activate the Gravity Integrator, it attracts Deviants. You must defend the Gravity Integrator and make sure it is not destroyed.
In case you fail to defend it, you will get the rewards corresponding to how far your Gravity Integrator ascended before it was destroyed.
Stellar Resonance rewards
The Stellar Resonance rewards are based on how far your Gravity Integrator managed to ascend.
Every 50m it ascends, you unlock a new tier reward, which goes up to five tiers.
You and your team members can claim the rewards at the base of the Gravity Integrator once it has ascended or is destroyed.
At the beginning, you can collect Stellar Resonance rewards three times a week, with more in later phases.
That said, you can also submit the Stellar Core Samples that you accumulate while the Gravity Integrator is active in the Stellar Resonance events tab to get additional rewards and new bonuses for the Gravity Integrator.
How to start Stellar Resonance in Once Human
To join and start Stellar Resonance in the game, you must head to Event > Visional Wheel > Stellar Resonance.
From there, you can join in.
