Female model in Once Human undergoes "virtual chiropractor session" after new gender swap option update

Gamers, men and women alike rejoice, as the female character model in Once Human has undergone a "virtual chiropractor session." Additionally, based on long-standing player feedback from within the community, the option to "gender swap" in-game is now a reality. You can now swap between male and female characters in-game at will. This is what the developers had to say:

"Based on long-standing player feedback in the community, our devs couldn’t stop thinking about making “gender swap” a reality. After pulling several wild all-nighters, the long-awaited, super-polished Gender Swap feature is finally here!"

If this feature was not enough to get the hype train rolling again, you'll also be glad to know that the female character model in-game has gotten a much-needed glow-up, including body tweaks and action upgrades to make her more "graceful." Here are the changes you can expect to see in-game.

The female character model in Once Human receives major upgrades, including the ability to "gender swap"

The highlight of this update in Once Human will allow a "gender swap." You may want to do this for multiple reasons, such as becoming a smaller target, or perhaps your partner wants to take over your character (after you've spent hours grinding during the early game). Or maybe you just really want to play as a female character in-game.

To "gender swap," you will have to purchase a Metamorphosis Token (item) from the shop. Next, you will have to build a full-length mirror in your territory and interact with it to access the character creation screen. From here, you'll be able to swap genders in an instant and assume the form of a woman. Furthermore, there's no need to worry about repurchasing outfits, as they will match your new gender.

Note: Your first Metamorphosis Token will only cost one Energy Link.

Female character posture fixes, enhanced movements for female characters, lighting tweaks for characters, and outfit details refined

Female character models in Once Human will no longer "slouch, hunch, or give off bad vibes." They are getting a virtual "chiropractor session." With this update in place, be it in your wardrobe screen or out exploring the badlands, your character will stand tall (quite literally).

Numerous animations have also been overhauled and polished to spruce things up. This includes things such as the female characters' posture for sitting on chairs and sofas and even for sleeping on beds. The developers had this to say:

"Every pose is now more graceful and refined."

With the advent of this update, the lighting system will also get a massive overhaul. Wherever in the world you may be, your character model will look flawless. This applies to dimly lit rooms and even when standing against the light. Lastly, the infamous “stockings without feet” issue has been finally fixed. Proper full-length stockings are now in trend.

That said, the developers have stated that this is just the start of the visual upgrades in Once Human. They will keep polishing animations, tweaking environments, and perfecting every little detail. More updates, including better scene quality, improved world teleportation, and other surprises, are in development.
