Some of the usual platforms will be missing this time, but it’s now certain that Unknown World Entertainment and Krafton will take us underwater once again.

Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien ocean world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe developed by Unknown Worlds. A new world awaits you along with an all-new story. You are a pioneer traveling to a distant world, but something is wrong. The ship’s AI insists that you continue the mission. This world is too dangerous for humans to survive… unless you change what it means to be human. What creatures, intelligent or otherwise, await your arrival? Play alone or with up to three friends in online multiplayer co-op. Whether exploring mysterious ruins, building custom bases, or adventuring deeper into the world… The challenge of this planet will test your ingenuity and ability to adapt in unexpected and curious ways.

Survival depends on using the right tools. In addition to basic items like your scanner and flashlight, you’ll find recipes for more advanced tools, equipment, and submersibles. Bases are more customizable with an overhauled building system. New tools allow you to better adapt to the world. From towering underwater cliffs to lush coral fields, this aquatic alien world is filled with vibrant and breathtaking biomes, each teeming with diverse ecosystems and unique creatures. But something is wrong. The world is out of balance. What happened here? What happened to you? More importantly, where are you?

Explore a rich world filled with mysterious creatures, from the tiniest fish to the largest Leviathans. Scan creatures to learn more about them. Use your biosampler to collect samples for study. As you learn more about this world, evolve your genetics to adapt your body for survival. This world is vast and deep. Venture beyond the safety of shallow waters and descend into a dark unknown. Wonders and dangers lurk around every corner. To survive on this planet, you’ll need to push your limits and unlock the secrets of this strange world.

Subnautica 2 is being developed by Unknown Worlds, a completely independent studio that traces its roots back to the 2002 Half-Life mod Natural Selection. It is the same studio that created the original Subnautica. The team is scattered around the globe, from the United States to the United Kingdom, France, Iceland, Austria, Australia, Canada, India, and many other places. Subnautica 2 will be an Early Access game, which means it will be in active development at launch. You may encounter bugs, features in development, and performance issues. The developers will be adding more biomes, creatures, craftables, and story as they go.

Subnautica will be released in Early Access in 2025 for Xbox Series and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store).
