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.

esta muy bien la jugabilidad, pero se nota muchisimo que no esta acabado puesto que es muy rapido de acabar (de momento), un mapa pequeño y a mi parecer pocas criaturas y el ambiente no tiene esa tension como lo tuvo el primero. Esto es de momento puesto que me compre el juego el primer dia y ya sabia que iba a ser asi, si te lo vas a comprar debes saber eso, es un juego que seguramente te lo pasaras y ya no lo vuelvas a tocar hasta que no este completo
peak
GOTY, as is
Excellent game! Highly recommended!
must i even say anything the game is peak it is worth every penny i shed a tear playing it the story is good and it kept me hooked
Мне как фанату сабнатики очень понравилось, много интересных геймплейных нововведений, но контента пока мало, прошла все что пока доступно за 13,5 часов. Понравилось что разработчики сделали действительно хороший талассафобный контент в некоторых локациях, например момент где ты буквально обязан плыть через непроглядную бездну и толщу воды чтобы продвинуться дальше по сюжету
super fun
海がきれいでゲームとしてもとても楽しいです 最初は何したらいいかと戸惑ってしまうかもですがそこを超えると一気に面白くなります マルチでやる場合は回線やPCのスペックより頻繁に落ちることがあるのでだれがホストをするかは注意が必要です ですがゲームノートでも問題なく動いていますのでスペックはそんな気にしなくてもいいかもしれません
Solid game, fun mechanics and loads of exploration.
Even though it's early access, what there already is is solid. To me it feels like an imrpoved version of Subnautica in terms of graphic fidelity and the atmosphere that gets created with the lighting possibilities of the first game. I also love the new habitat builder that lets you get more creative than the first game. Is it all roses and sunshine? No, story wise I find Subnautica way better, you really had the feeling of being marooned on a distant planet. Another one is the aggressiveness of the fauna. I'd rather have them a bit less aggressive and deal more damage once they are after you than being constantly overly aggressive but just nibble a bit on you. I have tried it on Linux which worked, sort of, however when switching to windows emulation mode using Proton it was a very smooth experience and the load times were mere seconds.
