About
Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.
Driven from your home by ongoing conflict, Alterra offers you the chance at a new life. But as the colony ship CICADA shepherds you and your fellow Pioneers to your new home, something goes awry. The ship’s AI insists that your mission should continue. Stranded and faced with near-insurmountable odds, you must do everything in your power to survive. The future of humanity on this world is in your hands.
Subnautica 2 is being crafted as a single-player experience that you can optionally play in online co-operative multiplayer with up to three friends. You can choose from four pre-designed characters, with more characters and customization options coming throughout Early Access. Work together to explore long-forgotten ruins and learn to adapt to a planet that might not want you there.
To survive the depths and make this planet your home, you’ll need to utilize all the tools at your disposal. Traverse vibrant and breathtaking biomes with your Tadpole submersible. Design and customize bases to return to when your adventures push you beyond the safety of shallow waters. As Early Access develops, so too will your array of tools, equipment, and vehicles. Upgrades will help push you beyond your boundaries and unlock the secrets of this strange world.
Scan and study a rich world of biodiversity to understand life here. Discover everything from the smallest creatures to towering Leviathans. Experience the wonder, and sometimes danger, lurking around every corner. Every dive is an opportunity to uncover why the ship's AI is so determined to continue the mission and what mysteries lie beneath the surface of this breathtaking new frontier.
Subnautica 2 is an Early Access title in active development. Throughout this journey, we will continuously expand the world with additional biomes, creatures, and craftables, while expanding the narrative. You may encounter bugs, in-development features, and performance issues. Your feedback is the cornerstone of our development process. Join us and help shape the next chapter of the Subnautica universe.
Subnautica 2 is being developed by Unknown Worlds, the studio behind the award-winning Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero. Our journey began with the 2003 Half-Life mod Natural Selection, and today we have evolved into a fully remote, globally distributed team spanning from the United States to the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and beyond. Defined by a philosophy of open development and over a decade of community-focused innovation, we invite you to dive back into the depths with a studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the survival genre.

I dream of living in a world like this
TL;DR: This is a good game that suffers from belonging to a franchise (and being compared to the previous game in the franchise). Nevertheless, I got invested in the story and cant wait to see what happens next (the game is in early access at this point). Comparison to the original game: - the user experience is more polished (most of the time); so many features were implemented to make your user experience nicer. unfortunately, this also means that, if you played the initial game, you will find this one too easy (almost like it holds your hand along the way) - the focus of this game is the story; and the story is good enough to carry the game. this also means that it's a complete different experience from the first game. the first game threw you in the middle of the water and said "Survive!". this game throws you on an unknown planet and tell you exactly where to go to progress - both the games follow a similar progression system. start with nothing, build better gear and better vehicles so that you can explore more and more of the environment. if you played the original game, you already know the system so it feels less impact. because of that, the "unknown" factor is almost missing in this game.
get good
I have always loved the Subnatica series. They did not disappoint with this one. Great story line, I look forward to seeing how it develops. Great work guys!!!
Well, it's not bad nor is it great. Still has many updates coming out and is still in early access. Good so far.
funnnnnnnn
Nagyon szeretem a játék látványvilágát és hangulatát. Vannak igazán izgalmas elemek, de még számomra, kevésbé gyakorlott gamer számára is remekül játszható! Maga a játék jól illeszkedik a gyártó korábbi 2 munkája által megkezdett sorba. Vannak még hibái természetesen, de a hangulat, a zene, a látványvilág abszololút megéri.
The exploration is so fun and the creatures are so cool. peak game
very fun, i love the new features, but its gonna be hard to stack up against the original subnautica :D
too much water
